Space Stations CAN Move!!

I once captured an enemy BS over one of their homeworlds. Great! Now I can use it against the very people it is supposed to protect and bLast them to pieces. Didn't work as it didn't start right next to the planet but a bit away with the rest of my ships and had such ****ty weapons it wasn't in range.

While on the subject of that BS, it was almost destroyed when I took it (had to wait for selfdestruct device to be destroyed) but I had alot of Frigates with repair bays with me so I repaired it in one turn. My question here: Frigates are small. Damaged ships supposedly go inside a repair bay. A BS is big. How do you get it inside a repair bay on a Frigate? More to the point, how do you get it inside several repair bays on several ships at the same time?

Hrmm... I never saw it as going inside the repair bay... more as the repair bay being a bay used to store smaller craft that then launch and can repair things in the vicinity.

Just my take on things.

You know, an image I came up with once featured a repair vessel that attached, lamprey-like, to the outside of an enormous floating colony. I suppose you could also picture a repair bay as being the scaffolding and what-not to dock with the ship and repair it that way . . .

I know I've said this before but I think the number one thing I like about SEIV is the way you can tweak it into your own idea of things. You aren't as stuck with the same concept the designers had in every little detail.

I've viewed the repair bay to be somewhat like the U.S. space shuttles. Some work done inside, other work done through space walks. Only its done mostly with robotics, not crews.

However they do it, I suspect it involves a lot of WD-40 and duct tape.

Only if Red Green is the leader.
