that makes sense about the x-wing but it should have a limit it can repair too.

also when we have conquest in space will non-pilots be able to fly.

What about ships that carry droids by default, Like the X-Wing?
Having an astro mech such as an R2 unit should give an automatic repair ability.

Oh thats cool, never thought about hangars like that... Maybe the Imps could get a repair station at the 2 other hangars on the ship? (the one in front of the spawning hangar, and the ones on the side)

When we add cap ships with hangers, I would be confident to say that the hangers would repair fighters at a much faster rate.

yeah i saw them doing that kinda thing, i always thought they were stationary at first. Hehe i think it would be cool if when you are getting hurt by one of those, you scream in terror

I think a few of the droids do this when they get close enough to enemies and see them.

hmm, wouldnt it be cool if the droids the heavy troops had would automatically fly towards the nearest enemy and harass them? ones that move around, kinda like the ones in endor, without the remote control, then you can follow them and stuff

They do repair walkers.

i really hope that the support droids will be able to repair, that would be extremely helpful, with those walkers, you are pretty must gonna get the crap shot out of you in you try to repair, or you can even keep up O.o

whaat thats so lame... so you're saying the game repairs things on a HP % basis? and not a HP value basis?

cheap ;_;

the slow repair rate is due to the fact that any changes would end up repairing the main capital ships faster aswell.
this doesnt mean that we arent still lookig for ways to get fighters a faster repair.
it just means that we havent found a way yet.

As of right now there is no reward to flying 1500m or whatever to the nearest freighter to repair because it takes a good two or three seconds to gain one health point. I don't want to sit two minutes to repair my ship, I'd rather just crash it into a cap and give it damage and get a new one.

Could the rate be sped up so repairing actually has some use other than shutting off the "you are about to explode you have 20 or less armor remaining" alarm?

And, if possible (I doubt it), could it be scaled with how much damage you have currently, with a faster repair rate for more damaged ships and slower rates for guys at 90 or 85%?
