I had a C-ship repair an abandoned space port and it seemed to take forever - at least longer than I seem able to build new ships and bases from scratch. So, I tried sending another C-ship to help, but could find no way to assign the second constrictor to the job. Is there a way to assign more than one C-ship to a job? If so, will it speed the work? I was also wondering if it would do any good to design a C-ship with two or more Constructor components. Can a C-ship make use of multiple construction components (like a base can)? Would this make a C-ship faster at repairing things? (I do realize this would be straightforward to test but I am traveling for a couple of days and unable to run DW - just plotting for my return.) I am researching tech that will speed construction time, but I expect the lengthy time it took the C-ship to complete the repair at a remote location was due to the need to transport resources there? It seems when I send a C-ship out to build a mining station, for example, that it leaves home with the materials needed, but not so when I sent it on this repair mission. Is that perhaps because it first needed to survey the damage and then order up the parts? I assume the needed materials were delivered by private freighters, but I never saw any headed there (but I didn't watch the whole time, either). Interested in anybody's thoughts or experience on the subject - thanks.
