Better off going for the next level in resupply anyway...

But I was under the impression that NOTHING could be repaired unless there was a Space Yard, either component or facility, present. Not so?

I usually build a Logisitcs Fleet of Builders (Space Yard Ships) and Fitters (Repair Bay Ships) anyway. Covers all ills. Add Tanker support and you'll be amazed how far you can go and still sustain an offensive.
