When trying to repair the starting Templar explorer ship with one of my carrier ships using the "Multi repair fighter 1" skill I get the message that it can only repair fighters. However when I go look at the loadout of the Templar explorer ship, the base ship used for this design is a fighter ship, so that should be able to get repaired.
I haven't been able to test it yet with the normal repair skill so I don't know if this problem is exclusive for multi repair.

If I may elaborate just a bit:
The starting Explorer is a cruiser, not a fighter. Consequently it cannot be repaired by carriers. It will, however, be repaired by factions if they end the turn in a green square, same as everything else.
That being said, the confusion is understandable because the explorer looks a lot like the basic starting fighter. Something to add to the backlog of stuff; maybe redraw the explorer icon to be more cruiser-ish.
Although as we all know, the brothers are busy making STF the best game they can as their highest priority. I suspect that the next really big update to 4X will be a brand new game on a brand new engine -- if there is enough interest.
Respectfully,
Brian P.

Quick followup: In fact, if you look at the description of the Explorer in details, it is described as a fighter. A small labeling bug, but probably too late to do anything about it now.

Yep, a bad label. We'll keep working to improve.

Respectfully, Brian P. Just an artifact of how they are created in the game. A little piece of trivia or something for players of ST 4X. |
