Default Re: Updated the FAQ

Fyron prompted me to post this...

Ok, a big fix section:
5.5.2 The order in which repairs are performed is set with (F11) Empire Status/Repair Priorities. Clearing the priorities list will leave only the component types that you have the technology to build; more entries become available when you research the corresponding techs. (capnq)
5.5.3 Ships are repaired in the order they are listed in the fleet transfer screen. (Douglas) "Repair Priorities" only applies to the ship currently being repaired, and does not affect which ship gets repaired first. See also section 5.13 for an explanation of ship ID and how it affects retrofits.

The above is wrong.

Instead:
- Repair priorities can be set in the repair priorities window F11) Empire Status/Repair Priorities. This is not an ordered list, but rather a true/false state. Items on the right side will be prioritized, while items on the left will not be prioritized.

- Any damaged component which falls into a category on the right side of the repair priorities list will get a "priority flag". Any SHIP which contains a damaged component with priority will also have a priority flag.

- Repairs will then be conducted in the following order:
1) Only ships with priority flags are considered. The priority ship with the lowest ID is selected first.
2) If no ships with priority flags are present, then all damaged ships are considered, and the lowest ID is selected first.
3) Components with priority flags are repaired first, in order of placement on the hull.
4) If there are still repair points remaining, then a second pass is made, and the non-priority damaged components are repaired in order of placement on the hull.
5) If there are still repair points remaining, and the ship has been fully repaired, the game selects a new ship as in (1) and starts over.

- If all the priority components on a priority ship are repaired, but there are not enough repair points to completely fix the ship, then that ship will not be a priority ship on the next turn. If there is a second ship with priority components damaged, that second ship will be repaired instead.
