Topic: Speed up repair rates in space!

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%?

Re: Speed up repair rates in space!

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.
