Repair Bot

May 02, 2003 Cmdr. Freeman link
Auto-repair bot - 100,000c - you have to bot and hope your bot kill gives you scrap metal - once you do, you grab it and launch the repair bot - your battery drains and your scrap metal goes bye bye, but you get some degree of repair. You have to park while repairs occur otherwise the bot flies off into space if you try to run too fast (and you're out 100,000c)

Thoughts? Comments? Remarks about how stupid this is?

Awefully expensive for what you are getting, but sure.

Sorta on topic, but not exactly. It would be cool to see supply or tanker ships where you go up next to them and it would repair your ship and give ammo, just by parking next to a marked zone. It wouldn't require docking. Kind of like mid-air refueling.

Well, the price is meant to not make it easy to just toss around.
The limits are meant to keep people from activating it while twisting in combat and thusly staying invincible.

Rather than make it super-expensive, make it a trade off by having it occupy a weapons slot. Small repair-bot uses a small slot. Large repair bot uses a large slot: but works faster and requires less scrap metal.

Resource-eating repair bot ftw. I think it'd be cool if different stuff gave different repair amounts per cu..
