This section is in need of revision. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. The reason given is: Page is only about half done. I wrote all this on my phone, so expect typos. The use of the Category:Spacecraft also need thought. |
When a spacecraft is damaged, either in combat or by the environment, it will require repairs to bring it back to top performance.
Types of Damage
A spacecraft is composed of multiple subsystems, all of which can be damaged independently of one another.
These systems are:
- Command and Control Station
- Life Support
- Power Plant
- Maneuver Drive
- FTL Drive
- Sensor
- Weapon Systems
- Shield
Some room types can also be damaged.
These rooms are:
Spacecraft Repair
There are two ways to repair a spacecraft, either manually repairing each system or purchasing repairs from an Airport Repair Shop.
Manual Repair
It is possibly to manually repair a spacecraft's systems using the commodities and the associated tool listed on the "Spacecraft Damage Report".
Repairing
To repair a damaged system, select the appropriate tool as your current item. The tool shows the part that it repairs next to the tool icon on the screen. Look at the damaged system. The targeted system is indicated by an icon next to the health bar of the ship that appears at the top of the screen. A number next to the part icon by the tool shows the quantity of parts needed by the targeted system. Click with the mouse to install one part. A part is taken from the hold of the ship if available; a part is taken from your inventory otherwise.
Cannibalizing for parts
Parts can be removed from a system in the same way. Select a tool. Look at a system. Use the item's alternate action to remove a part, rather than install one. The default key binding for this is Shift + G
. A part is removed if there is space in your inventory to hold the part; otherwise no part is removed.
Tool List
Purchase Repair
In order to repair a spacecraft, all its systems must be turned off. This can be done by "Repair the Spacecraft; Rig for Repairs" order.
The crew responds by turning off the systems they are operating and preparing the ship for repairs. They do not actually perform the repairs; the crew just configures the ship to be repaired.
If an officer has the con, the officer will purchase the repairs once the systems are turned off. If the ship does not need repairs when the repair order becomes current, the officer immediately skips to the next order so the crew does not rig the ship for repairs.
