Repairing

Repairing damaged entities requires a mixture of time, resources and workers. Once the repair has begun, the person may leave and go about their business as usual, without needing to constantly monitor the progress of the action. Once a repair has been completed, the person who started the event will be sent a message to inform them that the action has been completed.

 - Station/Facility Repair: Within the Station/Facility being repaired.

• The Raw Materials to be used in repairing must be stored in either of the following places:

 - The Shipyard or an adjacent Shipyard to that taking part in the repair operation.

All ships may be repaired in shipyard space stations if the ship is the length of the station or smaller (this doesn't apply to stations 3km or larger). Factories and factory stations may only repair ships less than 80 metres in length. Boats and Submarines can only repaired in Naval Shipyard facilities. All other ships, vehicles and droids are repaired in factories or factory stations.

Each Station or Factory, in addition to size limitations, also have a slot limitation of 12. Slots represent how many repair utilities the entity has to repair damaged entities with. Each ship/vehicle or droid takes up a certain amount of slots depending on its class, and once an entities slots have been exhausted, it can no longer repair additional entities.

The Slots Breakdown is as follows:

   * Ships:
     - Capital Class Ships: 12 Slots
     - Freighter Class Ships: 4 Slots
     - Fighter Class Ships: 0.5 Slots
   * Vehicles: 0.5 Slot
   * Droids: 0.5 Slot
