Oh, that's weird. Never seen that, and I've played a few organic races lately in several games. Definitely seems nonsensical.

Organic Armor does get a chance to use its stored up regen points after the Last shot in combat is fired. If your ship is hit on the Last round, you still get to try and heal the armor.
That might be what your're seeing.

My partner in the game has a repair dread with 5 repair V's on it, can repair 25 pieces a turn, makes combats pretty trivial because with two of those he repairs every ship instantly. He also uses them when he retrofits. He can have an entire fleet retrofitted in 2 turns with 2 of his super repair dreads.

Re: Repair aptitiude and Organic armor
 

one prob with reducing your repair capability is that the lower level of repair comps are much much much weaker. and any component that repairs one per turn (like in P&N) is useless. If you don't mind spending a few extra $$ and some research dollars it is still a great option just pointing that out.

if you have a component that repairs 1 and have repair aptitude 50%, you'll need two ships with that component in the sector to get repair. the repair rate is calculated for the whole sector not for induvidual components or ships.

wow, that's nice, now i feel a lot better about losing 25%+ of my repair apptitude.

Re: Repair aptitiude and Organic armor
 

BTW, it rounds down. If you have 99% repair ability, one comp with a repair rate of 1 will do nothing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
