Repair Points - 11/18/2011 3:59:52 PM

Status: offline 		Folks I noticed something that I don't recall being delineated in the manual and thus my question. It is about the shipyard or other repair facilities. When a ship is being repaired (only in a shipyard??) in the screen showing the repairs and how long they will take, it has something like repair points and a % after it... What's that all about and how did I miss it, is it a fix in the beta, as that's what I'm using? Thanks in advance. Hal

Status: offline 		I think I know what you are referring to.
The "Repair points:  xxx(999%)" indicates a how well the ship is advancing towards repair using the shipyard.
Roughly, it indicates how far along a ship is when repairing a damage point.

Cheers,

I thought that xxx showed the number of repair points used last turn while the (99%) shows the total repair damage completed last turn?

Status: offline 		Hans, thanks and you are right I should be able to do so, but I've limited software on the computer... I tried but was not successful. However Michaelm is right, that's what I'm referring to... however I still don't know what those numbers really mean as illustrated by Chris's input above....I KNOW those numbers can be useful, as repairing damage is important (as Paul keeps on GIVING me damage) but I just don't know for sure what the numbers are...

Status: offline 		Folks,

I am reposting this as I still don't know what those repair numbers really mean. Can anyone enlighten me? Chris made a stab at it but so far no one can tell me for sure how to interpret those numbers (again when you click on ships at anchor in a harbor, then "manage repairs" (I think that's what is is) and then upon an individual ship, if it is in a shipyard it has a number of repair points and then a %. Not sure how to interpret it all.... it seems important or it wouldn't be in the game!

I've started drafting a ship repair 101 guide.

I don't play with the betas therefore in the absence of a screen shot I can't directly interpret your situation. But my gut feeling is that the beta change is essentially eye candy.

Status: online 		Alfred,

please hurry with the guide I am in desperate need of it, currently trying to save two CVLs sitting in a lvl 2 port, but failing. Is naval support going to help them at all?

Status: offline 		Then it would appear that the change was made in one of the beta updates and the explanation is there as well... I'll look for it and I'll try to obtain a screen capture, but believe my my computer doesn't like to do that... my MAC on the other hand can do that standing on its hard drive!!!!
