Captain needs repair ability

[Trifler]

I think the captain needs to always have the repair ability (I think the captain had it in previous builds?). If you want, it can be less effective than an engineer's repair, but winning a battle, but having to quit because they took out a critical component and the engy is dead is super annoying.

Captains can repair hull breaches and damaged items on the ship.

Hehe. It's an old post now. They couldn't when I posted it.

Oh sorry, these forums haven't been used in a while so I was looking to stir up some conversation

So how does the Captain repair? I don't see a menu option ever after having the scrap in my inventory.

Just put your captain nearby damaged hull/items and he will begin repairs. However if something is blocking his way he can't repair it. I had that problem also.
