Fighter Repairs

Hi there you will need to have a repair component on your carrier to fix the fighters, also adjust the stratergy settings and move you fighters up the priority list so they get fixed first.

Planets will repair fighters but at a much reduced rate. Best with repair ships or bases.

Hope this helps

The concept is that a Ship yard allows you to build ships (capable of going through warp points). If there is any mineral/organic/rads listed but no Ship yard then that can only build unit types, or facilites.

SEV, more than a feeling.

You can have 1 of your carriers be a repair carrier. the fixer if you will.

As of the 1.66 patch all planets have a small amount of facility and unit repair. It's not very high though - a Space Yard facility will greatly increase the repair rate. Or you can change it in Settings.txt

Answer: yes planets can repair units. Were you attacked immediately, thus not giving a chance for the fighters to be repaired? Or did the planet have a bunch of other stuff it was repairing?

I've always repaired at a planet. Having a repair ship is good for long trips but I'd rather conquer a planet as a forward base and place a ship yard on it.

Not sure about stock, but in Balance Mod, I believe that the Repair Bay is more effective than a Shopyard at making repairs - it can repair more tonnage per turn. A mobile shipyard vessel can (when based on a larger ship size) have multiple repair bays on it - further increasing the speed at which the vessel can put a fleet back into action.

For smaller ships, or smaller fleets, a planet is a perfectly viable means of repair. For larger fleets though, I prefer to take a large freighter and load it to the gills with repair bays. This won't work in stock though - you'd have to use a non-freighter because in stock repair bays and ship-based shipyards don't count towards cargo requirements.

Repair Bays count towards the cargo requirement of a freighter in Balance Mod?

I didnt know that

The component descriptions in the Balance Mod will tell you whether or not an item counts towards cargo space requirements. Supply, Ordnance, Space Yards, Repair Bays, Mine Sweepers, and remote mining are non-cargo components that count towards cargo requirements for Freighters.

Not sure if this helps, but I created the following bay a while ago which:
allows launch/land of fighters, drone and satelites
provides a small level of repair for them (repairs units only) - about 1 fighter per turn, (this would be the equivelent of a deck crew).
it also has a small store of ordinance.
I look at it as representing a more realistic hangar bay.
