Its ridiculous to see a ship go for repairs half way across the galaxy when not only there's a repair bot on board but by the time the ship reaches a repair base the ship doesn't need repairs anymore. Its infuriating. Same with fuel, ships in the middle of battle or ready to enter battle go to refuel instead of engaging leaving whoever they were supposed to defend defenseless.

You should post this in Tech Support, might be a bug

It's not a bug, just some really bad AI priorities.

@Spidey: thanks for adding the request to the master wishlist. Modding has given us the ability to add the repairbot function much earlier in the game. Unfortunately it seems that even ships with a repairbot are being sent back for repair, and are usually fully repaired by the time they arrive at the spaceport.

Well the prioritizing is so bad it borders on a bug.

It should do a simple check to see if there is a working repair bot left, if not it can go repair.

It does seem to work fine in manual fleets though as no one leaves until you give the go.

Edit: Ideally the ship should check itself and see if it can make it back to the nearest shipyard faster than repairing itself - maybe even try to fly in a formation with other ships heading back in case something goes wrong.

I think that'd be a waste of CPU time, if it's at all possible to repair while remaining in the fleet it should remain in the fleet.

Otherwise it'll just take up a spot on the spaceport for a questionable reason, as well as weakening the fleet cohesion needlessly.
