Easier Way To Repair Frigates?

[Kuroodo]

I've 3 frigates to repair. Going to each individual one and each individual module is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chore. I can only imagine what it's like when you have a massive fleet...

Is there eventually a way to automate the repairs? It seems silly that these ships have their own crew but can only be repaired by the captain/commander...

You can hold mouse 3 over a frigate to delete it, like resources in your inventory.

Oh cool, THANKS! I will try that.

To stop them from being damaged , send out 5, its best to send all same , i.e for exploration missions , send 5 explorers. They will succeed on thier mission with no damage.

I don't know if that's true or not but if it is then its dumb, because it means the fleet and expedition rating mean almost nothing. And that instead the success factor is based on a minimum total of stats that can only be acheived by having a full compliment of frigates. It basically makes classes of frigates kind of pointless.

I dont know if its true either, But i havent had a single damages ship since doing it that way.
over 25 missions at least.

Just like when you drop your phone - you could just buy another one. It's what I do. What else am I going to do with a billion units?

Stop cheating.

One doesn't need to cheat in order to make a billion units. You could make that amount in one day buying the parts off the market to make Cryo Pumps.

At least you CAN repair your frigates.

In my opinion if they get damaged on an expedition and get recalled, they should miss that phase of the mission but be able to return to the active expedition as soon as repairs are completed. And if you choose to ignore repairing them after recall they will not be able to return to the active expedition but will repair themselves at the end of it if repairs have not been done by you before then.

Having a control panel on your frieghter to repair the ships and make those repairs take real life time would be a good option. Or have a dock on your frieghter so they can land to fix repairs would be spiffy too.

I don't think remote repairing is something they would be anxiously willing to make. Someone put a lot of work into those frigate interiors and animations for the broken and repaired systems starting back up.

What do you mean someone put a lot of work into the interiors? They're the most basic interiors I've ever seen.

If they added fleet management, it should include the ability to repair frigates without having to go to them. At least give us the ability to do it as a way of progression/unlock the ability.

Automation aside, there's no fun and engaging gameplay. If the gameplay was engaging, no one would probably mind going up to the frigates to repair them. But all it is is grind for resources, walk up to each individual panel, then repair. That's boring especially when you have to repeat it multiple times for each ship...

Anyone having problems with invisible walls while trying to repair a frigate?

The door is there, it opens but some evil buggy force is preventing me from going through it

Yes, I have had that. Using my jetpack and 'rubbing' against the invisible wall usually works but occasionally I've had to walk to the other side the ship to get around one.

Yeah careful with that cause I just fell into the emptyness

Probably some of the same fundamental base building bugginess like where stairs join you have to jet over because something invisible blocks. Maybe the devs didn't have time to solve that while building the frigates (it may be systemic). The frigates are really extra bad with it though. The thing that bugs me the most is all the bouncing off invisible walls my ship does when taking off from frigates, especially with the tall elite. At least a couple frigate pads do it to me.

On of the com mods said on the NMS site forums that they were playing around with the idea of repair drones tech for freighters, so you could build a module to auto repair your frigates, with the trade off being it takes slightly longer than doing it manually. But then they said the "community balled the idea" in next's beta testing.... what ever the hell that means.

I just sent out 5 and my rating was the same as the mission. All 5 critically damaged.. No way can I be arsed to fix all of them with the stupid tedious mini-game.

there's no way to repair frigates other than visiting them yourself...
The best solution is prevention.

the most important factor in my opinion is installing freighter tech to boost your expedition stats... you get free tech from killing dreadnoughts (usually S class)

Make sure your convoy has a higher * rating than the mission you send them on...

I cant even remember the last time I had to do frigate repairs... and I only send 1 or 2 frigates per convoy (one S class and one organic)

And pay attention to what type of mission you're sending them on. If it's an industrial mission, then sending an explorer type frigate wont help much, if at all... you need an industrial frigate.
If it's balanced then bring a few different types
