ORIGINAL: Gem35 SO, only major damage can be repaired at a port with a shipyard? A port without a shipyard and say, 3 AR ships plus a Fleet HQ does not have the ability to reduce major damage at all and a port such as Diamond Harbor with a small shipyard can repair any ship with major damage? There are two types of major damage, engine and floatation. Major engine damage can only be repaired in a shipyard. It can not be repaired anywhere else. Major floatation damage can be repaired in a shipyard or by a floating drydock (ARD). It can not be repaired anywhere else. Shipyard capacity is related to number of shipyard points. A 50-point ship yard can handle ships up to 50,000 tons. It can handle smaller ones, it can not handle larger ones. It tops out when it is assigned 50,000 tons of ships (either one 50k, two 25k, etc). A big ship needs to go to a big shipyard to get major damage repaired. We did not implement a limit on ship tonnage for ARDs as the intent is to only represent the larger, full capacity ones in the OOB.
