I have created a "Carrier Battles Newbie Game" on PBW for those who are interested in trying out this mod.

Only first-timers will be allowed in, and you will have permissions to read the forums in all the existing CBmod games for tips.

I will also check the game forum regularily to answer any questions you may have.

I've finally realized how the Repair priorities work

And, to celebrate, I've updated v1.3 with bonus default ship strategies, and a repair priorities system stupendously better than the last version.

Perhaps you can enlighten us with your new insight on repair priorities?

Well, firstly, it is not intended to be a sorted priority list.

The stuff on the right gets repaired before the stuff on the left... other than that its in order of placement on the ship.

I got lazy in one of my games, leaving some of the categories unprioritized, and later realized a ship was getting fixed out of order.
