Repair in Upgrade Computer

Post by pyramid »

Currently the upgrade computer has a purchase item "Basic Repair". Besides refueling your craft, the description mentions servicing and replacement of original components of the ship if they are damaged. I'm not sure about the last part but would propose to change the item name to "Refuel" or "Refuel and Service" when the last part is true.

Its the only way to make your hud image go back to normal if it has been turned red by damage 8) I guess that counts as replacing components :wink: . And if its a refuel, should it cost 5k creds. I think not. It can be a real burden to refuel early in the game, especially ever save/load causes your ship to refuel itself for free ( :?: bug :?: )

Isn't refueling done automatically upon docking?

I don't want to give people the impression that they should buy that every time they dock....

Refueling is part of basic repair ATM fuel usage was turned off till about 3 months ago so was never really noticed till then.

Enjoy the Choice :)

IMHO best way would be to set up "buy entire category" option and then shove in group "basic servicing" several items like "basic repair", "basic maintenance", "refill Fuel", "refill Propellant", "load ammo", so player could either do it in single click or go into details.
