When they invade one of my systems, I can take down all their shield but any further fire doesn't do damage...
Are they...invincible? huh?

Also phasers have a large bonus against armor.

Basically all your shots have 10 damage subtracted, so either you'll need to go point blank or change weapon type.

where did you get the information that more than one repair bot has any effect?

Maybe he is tired about having his repair bot damaged? And wants 19 repair bots in reserve to repair it?

Status: offline 		Have you checked that it actually works that way? That a 20 repair bot guy repairs from "X components damaged" way faster than a 1 repair bot guy?

I never fought the Shakturi, so I never felt much need for "more repair bots".
