Damage Control/Repair Components - 1/8/2011 5:54:46 PM

Status: offline 		Does anyone know how the repair works on these components?

Is it supposed to repair everything eventually? I watched a damaged (12) destroyer for about a minute and only saw 1 component fixed. Not sure how this fits with the 'X seconds' in the component description.

Status: offline 		I tested this with the 3 sec repair component and it did indeed repair multiple components in 3 second intervals.

Was this in combat? Maybe the repair bot got destroyed. Or the reactor was gone along with energy?

Status: offline 		since one component got fixed i think the bot was not destroyed but very good observation on the reactor energy, caerr
the dependencies among many factors make this game so enjoyably complex, that's why i'm still surprised when i see shield recharge rates not counting against the energy as other components. But as the shields do not even have a static energy requirement I think this is WAD

Actually, energy is required for shield regeneration, we just aren't told how much (might just require there to be some surplus energy )

Static energy is what is drained all the time
If the component displays "Energy", but without static, it for when such component is actually in use

Status: offline 		good observations, BigWolf
if that is the case with shields we can test using more weapons and faster engines to see what's left for the shileds (or leave nothing for the shields, make the ship underpowered) will think on how to set this up
i think making the shields energy requirements clear on the designs screen is also on the wishlist so it will be implemented at some point
