You cannot repair technology you don't have, so enemy ships may be impossible to repair, depending on their tech; that would solve at least part of the problem, if it is the case.

Maybe having those impossible to repair ships "contaminate" the whole sector, and prevent any repair from taking place? It sounds unlikely, but who knows? And it is the least unlikely idea I can think of (except the usual "the user is bugged", but I have never been fond of that one).
The Enemy ships that I was repairing were rock colony ships. The only difference between them and my own colony ships was that I had higher tech engines and master computers. In other words I had exceeded all the tech that the enemy had. There is one thing I will mention, I had taken one of the enemy Dreadnoughts and had it analyzed the previous turn. I've just tried analyzing the one colony ship that I was retrofitting to see if that was the problem. Didn't work and I've just tried destroying all the ship acquired when the enemy surrendered but to no avail. It appears to me that this game is toast.

I would try PBW but I just can't devote a consistent amount of time. I usually play maybe 2 - 3 days in a row and then I will be unable to get back to the game for 2 or more weeks. The last time I tried to play a PBW game the game administrator had to force the game to the next turn over 50% of the time because I was unable to play my turn.
