Hi all! Have been playing as TEC for about 4hrs. and have noticed my constuction frigates had been sitting there with damage for quite some time. So I checked my repair platforms, and their repair ability was on auto cast. All my defence fleet was fully repaired, just not my construction frigates. Then I clicked on the RP's repair ability and then onto the construction frigates and it then did repair them. Also shouldn't all ships self repair if the research has been done or are construction frigates without this ability normally, and are they normally not repaired by autocast.
Oh! and I have to say I'm really impressed with the improvements in beta 2 congrats to Ironclad and Stardock, and also to to all testers and moderaters you guy's rock. I'm positve this is going to turn out to be a fantastic add on.
They do repair over time. At 0.012 per second. Every minute and a half or so it gets one point of hull integrity back. Hope they didn't make that hull repair a bit fast, huh?
Yeah, the Repair platform ignores the construction frigates, I don't know why but after getting over being annoyed, I think its good because during a battle I rather it start repairing my other ships and structures intead of wasting time and antimatter on constructors and once the battle is over, I can just do it manually.
OK! yeah, I don't mind it the way it is. I wasn't sure weather it's supposed to be that way thats all.
One thing though, those construction frigates saved my ass in that battle. I was court short by a Vasari invasion. I had 3 heavy cruisers, light frigates and an Akkan. The Vasari had about 10 Skirmishers, a Marauder and an Evacuater and was slowly over coming my fleet, that I had been slowly reinfocing with cruiser carriers and a few Hoshicas.So I started flat out building planetry deffences - a repair station and half a doz. deffence platforms, which succeeded in driving them off.
Another question I have is once a construction frigate is destroyed is it auto replaced or is it once they're destroyed thats it. I vagely remember building a construction frigate once but can't remember wether it was in a mod I'd been using a while back.
They get replaced after 5 minutes iirc - 10 if the system is under seige...
Ok! Thanks people. That pretty much explains why they don't need to be repaired.
Karma to all
