How do you repair?

[E y e s u c k]

I'm absolutely loving Everspace so far. The only problem I have with it is a lack of information. The game mentioned that I can repair my ship with nanobots? But all it says is "Bring up the in-game menu". Well... how do I do that? I looked at the control bindings and didn't see anything about an "in-game" menu anywhere. I tried a bunch of buttons. Pressing escape brings up a menu but, I don't think that's it. I didn't see an option to repair, anyway.

I'm probably gonna feel really stupid once I figure it out. Like, maybe I just don't have any nanobots yet? Although, I thought I'd picked some up. I dunno. Someone educate me! Please and thank you! ^_^

Pressing Tab will bring up the in-game menu. From there, you can select the Repair tab up top. You can use this menu to repair specific components if they've become damaged, or initiate general repairs to your hull using the nano bot icon to the right of your hull health meter.

Thank you! I did figure it out and, as I thought, felt kinda stupid about it. LoL :)

There's also another way, if you don't have the nanobots for what you need. Between runs, one of the perks you can choose is to have the G&B trading stations offer other services. IIRC, Level 3 of that perk is that the stations will offer repair services. Combined with the perk that increases what's shown on the sector map, you'll be able to keep your ship repaired.

There's also the glyph that heals 5% hull after jumps, I like to put that on the gunship.
And my usual way is to max out nanobots and just run into nanobots in space after fights and they'll automatically be used for repairs.
