Support frigate, auto repair or not?

[ℬℓα⊂₭ ℙℜ¡ℵ₠]

Hi,

With the Support Frigate, I can assign it to rep one ship only. Is there a way to make it 'patrol' or fix ships in it's vacinity without having to micro manage?

Same as corvettes - hotkey+box around

if you hold y you can select multiple ships to repair but they still seem to just want to only repair one of the ones that were selected

Wait... How did you manage to get them to repair groups? For me, it only seems to work when I distinctly select one ship at a time to repair!

Hold Y or whatever your repair key is, bandbox select your fleet. They will roam around and fix the ones that are damaged. They won't continue though after they have repaired the damaged ones - you have to bandbox select again. Any ships damaged after you bandbox repair will not get repaired.

Excellant. Thank you for your reply. It'll make things much easier!

Well, THAT needs to be fixed.

I remember in the original HW, that this was a bit of a pain to do.

No 'auto cast' of healing.

I do sorta remember though that if you had them set to guard a ship or ships they would go around and repair...

But that might have been in Homeworld Cataclysm or a mod... I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Its been awhile.

I didn't lose a heavy corvette on mission 3, and my repair frigates were running around, I think, keeping them at full health using guard on the whole group
