repairs

Hi,

also I would like to know tthat if a ship is damaged, the only requirment for it to repair is not to move it right? As it repairs a bit of HP each turn. But it won't repair if I move the ship? Also are ships supposed to repair faster while on a planet?

Thanks in advance.

For ships, if you move one to ANY of your planets, they will be repaired in the next turn or 2 sometimes 3-4. But they heal alot faster then leaving them out in space. For starbases i think you have research faster repair. I hope this helps. I am discovering cool little things you can do every day so i might be able to answer your question soon.

In my experience, ships will be repaired if you don't keep moving it arround. If you keep it imobile, it'll be repaired.
The difference is when it's orbting a planet, then the repair speed will be faster. Even faster if you have planetary improvements that helps rapair your ships.
I'm not sure about let the ship parked near star bases repair it faster... didn't tryed it yet.

I forgot to mention that you have to dock it. like you move the ship into orbit of the planet. So it is at the stage where you would lanuch it. Wait a couple of turns, or just click on the ship, to see its HP. I hope this helps.

Parking them near a military starbase doesn't seem to affect the repair rate at all, as best I can tell.

well i think the increase of hp should be increased when your waiting in space, i had situations that i had several ships that had several battles behind them and my terrotiry is at least 6 turns away, that it indeed takes long before the ship is fully repaired. look at star trek voyager, that ship was several times damaged until it barely could fly but they where able to repair it pretty quik. main line, if you compare it a ship that is heavely damaged should take a max of 5 turns to repair in space and max 3 turns when docked...

am I missing some ways to speed up repairs - some magic tech?

What you can do to speed up rapair a bit apart from moving your ships to planets is chosing the rapair ability for your custom race or build the microrepair bots trade good.

from the wiki Link

Repair is a racial ability that increases the ability to fix your ships if they took damage in combat and survived. Factors like racial ability and nearby starbases with repair bays can increase your rate of repair. A ship in orbit of a planet has double the normal rate of repair.

"A ship in orbit of a planet has double the normal rate of repair."

Right then, but does the planet have to have a starport?

And on an unrelated question, how can one measure the experience level of each ship - it apparently builds over time / battles.

pnich of the hapless Terrans, conquerers of the Snafi.

if you click on a single ship there is a window to the middle right that shows the level and a progress bar that shows how much experience accumilated. And in a fleet you can see how much max hp they have. More then standard max means that it got lvls.
