Maybe I just cant search for a damn but there seems to be no documentation of how to repair a damaged subsystem. By subsystem I mean turret/weapon systems. It seems once a capital ship has lost a turret there is no way to repair it. Is this right or am I experiencing a bug? |

i think you just assign a resourcer to repair your ship and it will repair it, or it |

For some reason the ship hull will repair to full but all its turrets are missing. This goes for destroyers and the super battleship (higaaran) |

If you don't like it, my suggestion would be to change the 'destroyable' subsystems to 'indestructible' in the ship files, then raise the price of the capital ships to compensate. (since cap ships with invincible subsystems are super overpowered.) Or, you could change them to 'damagable', and turn down the subsystem file repair rate a lot/nerf their individual armor stats, so you'll be able to knock subsystems out, but if the hull survives, eventually they'll come back to working order.

I think there should be a way to repair them. (without modding the files) It gets silly when you are scuttling your ships because they can't do anything. |

I have purposed in the past that a function to replace these destroyed weapons by having starships dock with a shipyard. However, this is technically impossible in the HW2 engine, as while capital ships can dock, it won't rebuild destroyed subsystems. One thing I would ask is weather it would be posible for destroyed subsystems to leave wrecked husks on the hardpoints as opposed to dissappearing without a trace. Is this possible. Without modification, the only way to avoid destroyed subsystems is to take care of your fleet and try to minimise damage. Trying to replace a ship's forward battery in space without a fleet support station or shipyard is nearly impossible. You'll need drydock facilities, extensive repair work of internal and external systems, and of course, a new turret housing (and probably a lot of internal machinery as well). |

Is there no way to make a capital class repair facility? That is, a kind of super shipyard that allows capitals to dock as fighters. |

I've seen frigates dock, it was part of a squadron though and there is a considerable size difference.
Seems like it was years since I was last here
