Freakin' Frigats Repair

[Archer]

Way too many repairs, beyond being funny.
Please agree with a + if you find this annoying too. Maybe the devs will notice.

It's not the game it's you!

You are not managing your fleet correctly

I have not had ONE Single damaged component in the last week on 5 missions a day.

You are sending out too weak a team on your missions if you are only sending 1 at a time then you will fail EVERY time

[Vykromod]

Agreed. It makes the crews seem really incompetent lol. A "buyout" alternative would be nice...costs more than doing it manually but is done instantly, maybe?

Shifted to mostly farming instead. To reduce chance of damage try to have your fleet strength be at least one star above the difficulty of the mission.

I love to land in the frigates and repair manually the stuff, those small details make a game.

Every mission needs combat frigate's in support at least 1 better if 2

I only own about 5 Frigates at present, but yeah owning a whole of them to get repaired would really be a chore to do. I like the idea of Frigates and sending them on missions and this could be expanded upon in future. But i think we should be able to get upgrades (not the temporary mission ones) but that sentinel like repair bots that do self-repair of the ship. And you can see these fly about making repairs with their little lazers- it would be immersive to see this too.

The required resources for repairs could come from the Captial Ship inventory or even add a new inventory screen for this on your Cap ship. But initially the player does the repairs manually until they can afford to install Drones (which perhaps they do need to be replaced much later on- slowly) or another take could be you hire more crew to do maintance and see them doing the repairs, extra crew could have an upkeep cost. (I do hope in future we will see NPCs walking about not just for crew immersion but at space stations etc too).

No no no your ships don't get friggin damaged in The first place if you manage them correctly

It's not that annoying, with proper fleet management it doesn't happen often. Plus it's kind of enjoyably cool to perform an EVA on your frigates.
There are more annoying things to worry about :P

I wouldn't mind them breaking constantly if I didn't have to run around the entire ship repairing it myself especially when I've already clipped through the ground twice while using stairs and almost died from falling off the frigate.

[Archer]

From what I get from you guys, is that you can put more than one frigat on a mission. Didn't know that.

Thought you could put only 1 frigat on 1 mission, my bad.

[terryt3535]

Pay for some S class frigates, at least one of each of the four types. They seem to spawn abouit one for every 10 ships that you inspect for recruiting. Mine never return damaged if the fleet always has one more star than the difficulty of the mission, but I will guess they don't level up as fast doing that.

I agree with this post and one above maybe add an expensive repair all button from your frieghter managment menu. But let us guys who like the emerrsion keep it the way it is please :) I love spending 30 min or more repairing all my Frigits. Just my kind of gameplay.

Don't say you want them to add another inventory screen unless it's to replace the tedious ♥♥♥♥ we have now.

I only have 1 frigate now because I've been busy buying other stuff first but when you send multiple on one mission does that multiply the loot you receive from that mission?

[Skylers Meth]

Hell, i can't even work out HOW to send 2 frigates on one mission, the menu in both the mission giver and the briefing thing simply confuses me. Plus the fact I havent been able to repair them AT ALL made me not want to bother.
