Hull repairs & Fighter repairs

[Rogre]

Hi, I'm new to this game and have a few? Is there any way to repair the hulls on the cap ships, also do fighters have the abilities to self repair. I really like this game, but wish there was some way to have a refueling tanker called in for fighters. There seems to be no way to be rescued when my fighter is messed up bad if it cant repair; all I can do is drift endlessly in space or self destruct. Thanks in advance to anyone that answers this thread.

The answers are probably not what you're hoping to hear. Hull repair for cap ships only occurs between missions and only up to around 51%. There is no self-repair capability in the fighters unless you build it into a custom ship.

If main engine and/or reactor is down, try thrusters. They are among last to get shot.

Or, better yet, get yourself a crusier. Or a carrier battlegroup. Or something bigger :p

starshatter 5?

I have played a few modded DNs and BBs from 4.5, I am sure they could be done in TGS (5) as well.

Behold...The Nexus class from 4.5 compared to a cruiser and frigate.

I don't recall who created this...

starshatter 5 is certainly a huge improvement in graphics

oh and don't systems get repaired by crew at least during battles?

On capships yes (though only two items at a time, irrespective of ship size ). On fighters though, if you lose the system then it won't work for the duration of the battle. Which means you're stranded if you lose reactor/computer/engines etc. Not fun.
