Repairs have ceased to happen.. Any ideas?

Yes, based on this fact and the fact that ships are repaired in order of ship ID, the repair priority list is not very useful. Normally you have at least a spaceyard or two where you are doing repairs. And since you can't pick the ship that gets repaired first and once a ship is picked, all repair points go toward that ship until it is fully repaired or you run out of points, the exact order of repairs doesn't usually make much difference. The only thing I usually do is move "construction" to the top of the list so that I repair any components with the "repair" ability as soon as possible when that ship is up to bat.

I can see this being more important in certain mods where there are lots of components (like small armor components) on a ship; where you might want to fiddle with the other repair categories, though.
