The Repair Droids work automatically but the HUD repair one is buggy so don't buy it :wink:
The only cap ship that is player can buy is the Clydesdale that you can find on Trantor and Ice class planets it is rare though and may not show up at the ship dealer on the first visit.

Enjoy the Choice :)

By taking some damage. ;) But little buggers are a bit slow and will not show a result until current repair ends (no running %-s) and they choose new one.

Clydesdale.merchant, Ox.stock - Merchant/Light_Capship - dirt, snow, moon, newdetroit (trantor) planets.
Mule.stock - Merchant/Heavy, more widespread.
Goddard is not a capship, but almost (blank has capship-light mounts, but even nerfed player-allowed milspec is a big nasty death machine), and more battle-worthy than merchant boxes; it's Confed/Milspec, so it's available in many, many places. Though if you just want to blast pirate Thales or Gleaner, well-outfitted Admonisher can do it with ease. Especially if you'll shoot turrets off first.

One of the small fighters comes with the cloak and one of the Arean fighters as well have a look at unit.csv for which ship can mount a cloak there is a special column for cloaking and for others it may be in the forbidden upgrades list.And the cap ships are not fun to fly as they have very low acceleration and manoeuvrability not surprising for something kilometres in length as we try to model the physics correctly :wink:

I'll take a shot at answering the questions I think I can answer.

...
Where is a Repair droid going to get replacement armor out in space? Create it from vaccuum? It is logical that they cannot fix damaged armor. Some damage should have to be fixed at a dock repair station, armor damage being one example.

ships - yes, planets - no, stations - I don't think so.

While flying with wingmen one could at one time switch to a wingman's ship with the keyboard command '['. I suppose that still works but have not used wingmen since I started playing again. Then one can fly the wingman's ship to a dock and upgrade it. Of course your original ship then becomes an AI ship, so don't do this from a ship you would not want to lose in the event Aera move in while you are doing this. ;)

Repairdroids dont repair armour, why? ( 4 what are repairdroids good? The Cargo rom is full with material to fix the armour, tools , steel, iron, robotlasers, hullplates etc. )

What are the Clones, Contrabands good for? Effecting anything?

How can i change ownership of a planet? So why not with the cyborgs or clones, btw, where are they build? Every Capship got
one of each but no planet sells them ... Same to slaves, illegal weapons.

Are the Goods in trading effecting anything? !? No... ?

Is it possibel 2 make a Planet 4Xmple from overgrown biodiverse by terraforming 2 biodiverse only or a rocky planet 2
overgrown biodiverse?

Is it anyhow possible to capture ships or planets, stations?
HOW 2 capture a ship? Dock at it during a fight??

How can i get Wingmans as CARGO which are AI armoured with some weapons?
