Other 'repair' ships may service two at a time, of course they will divide their repair points. A damaged ship can only receive assistance from one support ship. Our discussion here is way too shallow. If you haven't read this for the full poop... http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=2990845

Then again not everything is written about this game, or even 'above board'. You haven't notice that ships with high durability take longer to repair? My SWAG is that its something 'under the hood', or factored in by some kind of 'die roll'. Best I can come up with for now. If I come across anything else... I'll be back.[:D]

Tonnage of the ship plugs into the formula rather than durability, but they tend to go hand in glove.

But I've never heard that "durability" which IS a unique characteristic of ships (and aircraft IIRC), is used in repair calculations. Certainly durability relates to a ship's ability to survive, which might (?) relate to complexity, watertight integrity, etc., and this rebuild time. But as I've never seen an explanation of the word as used by the developers, I simply don't know how it fits into the overall picture.

Yes, durability is part of the calculation of Repair Points per Damage Point. Other components are Tonnage and armor. Repair points generated by repair facilities are Units of Work. Repair Points per Damage Point indicate how many units of work are required to repair a given ship. Obvious it takes more work to repair a BB than a PT.

65 posts written about a 'basic' topic - which simultaneously illustrate the incredible complexity of AE, and the deficiencies in its documentation. [:D]

Otherwise the game may be 'compromised' to some degree or other, by those that may choose to take advantage of some aspect or another. quote: Yes, durability is part of the calculation of Repair Points per Damage Point. This, to me, is sufficient explanation as to what I otherwise noticed empirically. P.S. Thanks Don.
