Correct.

The default repair priorities can include things that you haven't researched yet.

Once you do research them, the entry will reappear.

Personally, I reccommend prioritizing:
- Bridge/ MC
- Engines
This short list lets you get the ship mobile, so you can send it home to a repair planet (and out of harm's way), and save the repair ship's points for other more crippled ships.

I just made those changes as it makes sense to get those things working first. It's a shame that you can't resequence the Priority list.

Just design your ships with the most important-to-repair components first. Then you're set.

Oh, I've always thought that the order in the repair priority list was the order things got fixed... there's still things I'm learning about SEIV. But I'm pretty sure the order mattered in SEIII...

I always put "construction" first. First thing to repair are repair components.

SJ, the problem with what you said is that the listings in the repair priority list are not systems, but categories of systems.

"Engines" does appear, because that's a category

"Bridge" and "Master Computer", do not. They are under "Vehicle Control", which does appear.

But, nitpicking aside, I conclude from what I've read in this thread that the optimal repair priorities list might consist of only three entries.

Construction
Vehicle Control
Engines

Does this make sense?

I'm just saying that I prioritize those systems.

I don't play stock, and the CBmod has much more refined categories, so in GG, you can in fact distinguish between bridge, auxcon and computers in the repair priorities.

But the main point was to prioritize getting the ship mobile so it can go home to complete repairs while the repair ships work on the others.

Right, understood.

But about my proposed 3-item Repair Priorities List above - good or bad?

I'm still not sure I understand why it requires at least one item in the priority list to work. It doesn't make sense.

No Items In Priority List = nothing gets repaired

1+ Items In Priority List = everything, including items not in list, gets repaired
