Is repairing your ship during battles a bug or a work-as-intended?

[Kshahdoo]

It makes space battles really trivial.

[REhorror]

It's probably a bug LOL.
Then again, I'm not sure why I didn't notice it, I guess I expect to NOT be able to repair my ship mid-battle.

[Cutlass Jack]

I never thought to try it. But it certainly has to be a bug.
I guess Scotty in engineering is saving our butts at the last moment.

Must be taking lessons from those pesky Necron Scythes.

Yeah, I know about the possibility and try to not use it in battles. I mean I haven't used it actually yet a single time, but I save scum as crazy.

Not surprising in the least to learn this is possible lol. Somehow Vistenza Vyatt on Janus and Achilles Salamander on Dargonus are still alive in my game during Act 3 when the quests have confirmed I've killed them both.

The game is sadly becoming more and more unhinged like this the more I progress into it. They really need to button down on their quest coding at the moment, it's possible to even dupe items in some dialogues.

You can repair in battles? How?

During battle, click on the Voidship menu, repair hull.

Are you all serious? Is repairing your vehicle or strongpoint midcombat so obviously a bug? xD I mean I don't know if intended or not either but it being intended doesnt strike me as odd, like the 20,000 crew are on this ship to begin with, with generations of people living and dying on it to be as self-sufficient as possible, and if they dont work while im busy fighting in space
then im not sure why are they here to begin with? Because Im pretty sure that when im NOT busy fightring in space all they do is randomly going crazy and murdering each other *as per blue collar tradition

BTW has anybody survived 10 rounds vs zerg of drukhari destroyers? Is this even possible without reparing mid-battles?

And what skills you have to rise to improve your space shhoting? 40% chance to hit vs drukhari isn't great.

Shield Pulse and Torpedos are very handy in that fight. Remember they drop that shadow cloak when they shoot most times.

Yeah, still it's always like 4 of them shooting at me. Too much damage even for Shield Pulse.

Maybe I had to kite them, just run away, shoot and try to survive. But they are very fast and agile.

Well I'm stuck outnumbered 14-1 right now so I'm going to go see if this is a thing.

Always having a torp out even if it's near the enemy will make them target that instead of you and they can take a few hits.

Once one of your shields gets blown fly away, restart, face that side away from the enemy.

Always reinforce your enemy facing shields. Always.

Remember the enemy can't do a full circle either so try and predict their next path toward you and use warp wave to spin them around if they're too close.

If you kill them quickly enough the game just ends the fight. That's what happened for me. No idea if that is what is supposed to happen.

Just being able to repair while flying at all is kind of silly. Especially since one of the early game beats is you needing to find a drydock to repair the ship. Comparatively minor damage means you need a drydock but having a bunch of chaos guys broadside your ship until it is 99% destroyed you can fix by just glueing scrap on to the ship.

Sounds about right!
