100 Skill Engineer not Repairing?

Urabus · Post by **Urabus** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 3:27 pm

I added an engineer to my crew and he has 100 skill level.

But the damage to my ship isn't being repaired...?

*1. Are there some things an engineer can't repair?

*2. Can engineers repair while docked or only in space?

Thanks in Advance!

Happy Hunting,
Urabus

You also need a Auto repair Unit, an Engineer just speeds up the auto repair.

Thanks Avenger!

I read on site that Eng repaired faster than repair unit, didn't understand that he was a supplement to it.

Cheers!

And with the auto repair + engineer you can repair anything anywhere, in space or in dock.

Only if you enter a station the repairing stops.

Excellent!

Now we know the answer to the chicken and egg query that has plagued mankind for centuries.

Requiring a repair module (egg) for an engineer (chicken) to increase the repair rate makes complete sense!

No wonder I hadn't thought of it!

Glad I was able to help.

What if the repair module is the chicken and the engineer is the egg?

Well then, that would prove, finally once and for all, that the "Big Bang" actually happened!:P:P

What if it was the Rooster that laid the Egg and the Egg became the first chicken. Or the rooster was to much of a chicken to lay the first Egg and therfore he became the chicken......

:P:P:P:P:P:P

point of order - if you have a damaged ship, for what ever reason, and you have aboard an engineer and a repair system C3 (optimal, but having any sys works); should you enter a station or a carrier - the repairing continues until finished. Or, unless it is paid for. Then - it stops. I have found repairs at carriers appears to occur faster than at stations. Then again, it may be my perception of this phenom. Build 1.283 increased this effect for all class ships. Build 1.284 and 1.288 seem to confirm it, for me at least. And yes, the engineer enhances the effort/output of the installed repair system. Seen 'em jump ship w/o one.
