Repair Priorities

[couslee]

I hate to disturb a topic that by all reading has settled before, but I must.

when you set your repair priorities, the repair function is suppose to do the following:
1> Checks ships for damaged priority components.
2> Tries to complete all repairs on that ship before rechecking the list.

Then perhaps someone can explain this. I have 3 ships in need of repair. Two have 2 damaged weapons each, one has 1 engine and 1 weapon damaged. The ship that has the engine damage is shown Last in the info box.

According to the above, the ship with engine damage should have been repaired fully first, then the other two repaired, with one of those still needing 1 component repaired. (5 repair planet based space yard only).

This however is not what happened. Both of the two ships that had two weapons damaged were repaired fully, and the one with engine/weapon damage only had the engine repaired.

So either the game repaired the engine first, then moved to the top of the list and started on weapons (meaning it does not try and repair all components once started on a specific ship), or it did repairs based on what ship was listed first and ignored the priorities list.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of weirdness? Or perhaps can offer some explaination to why it did that?
