Auto repair AFTER combat

[HAVOKMACHINE]

Auto repair AFTER combat OR at least repair ALL ships button with NO question yes/no. This issue is breaking the perfect flow of the game srsly.

Hi! Repairing costs, it cannot be auto since that would take scrap metal without asking the player. I think we have a possibility to use a key for this, I think default is R. So you may be able to bandbox all your ships and hit R to repair all at once.

OTOH, if I have a fleet that is capable of self-repair for hull and shields then it would be nice to see those actions gain maximum ability and minimum repeat time when combat is over.

I spend a lot of time just waiting for my ships to fix themselves.

@Dan. Are you clicking the repair button next to the ships? It's an instant fix for the ship, same as waiting until a repair beam has fixed. Repair beam and instant fix cost the same amount. There is absolutely no need to wait in a sector to repair, just click the button and that's it.

The shields however sometimes remain charging up, it should regain immediately but it doesn't always work. So that's a bug.

[aksel_bugbyte]

Same with sectors with Battlestations, no need to wait, just click repair and it will ask if you want to repair ship at station.

[Dan]

No, I wasn't clicking that. I wasn't aware that repair beams cost scrap; I usually end up with more scrap than I know what to do with so I don't notice it being used, I suppose.

Heh found out the hard way that repair beams cost scrap. Got a good repair beam drop and immediately mounted them up and wondered where all my scrap went. ;^p Not an issue for later in the game after you get a nice scrap stash built up but early game it will bankrupt you quick.

I've been flying a fleet with dual repair beams, maxed on upgrades, and a swarm of shield repair bots, maxed on upgrades.

I was invincible until I spawned in the middle of a fleet equipped with half a dozen death rays.
