Do construction ships repair mining bases? I can't find anything about repair in either the manual or the Galactopedia, and I have a couple of damaged bases and ships following Pirate attacks.

Also refueling (and this may be a bug, so I will cross-post it in the support forum): I have a couple of ships that the A.I. allowed to run out of fuel. According to the Galactopedia, they are supposed to be able to make their way to the closest fuel station under emergency power. Yet when I give them the order to do so, they just sit there for a minute, and then I get a "Mission Complete" message.

I think if you select the construction ship, then hover your mouse over a damaged asset, the cursor changes to a hammer. I think that may be the repair function. [:)]

tgb,

Yes, as Tycow noted, select the construction ship and go to the damaged ship/base. When the icon changes to a hammer right click on the damaged ship/base and it will go repair it.

Regarding refueling, it should work they just move very slowly. Are these ships that have any damaged components? If they don't have hyperdrive they won't be able to move.

That was it exactly. Looking at it again I saw that the hyperdrive was destroyed. Repairing it fixed the refueling problem.
