SETA REPAIR FOR DUMMIES!
> Why SETA repair?
Ever find your self wasting precious minutes repairing that M3? Well, with SETA repair, you can cut down on repairing time by a factor of 10!
> How much will it cost me?
SETA repair on a ship will only cost you 252 credits, the cost of one SETA. If however, you want to repair something bigger, say for example a M1 or a station, then it will cost slightly more. But it is much, much cheaper than getting a ship repaired at a shipyard.
> Free and fast repairs? Cool! How do I conduct a SETA repair?
Read on to find out
SECTION A
-Repairing a ship.
1. Fly/Command the ship that is to be repaired to dock at a place that sells the SETA.
2. Save, buy SETA and then un-dock (or just un-dock if you already have SETA).
3. Strafe away from the docking clamp so that your ship is won't come in the way of ships that are trying dock.
4. Eject SETA from your ship.
5. Eject yourself from your ship.
6. Fly into the ejected SETA. You should now have SETA on board your space suit.
7. Target and aim at your ship and press and hold Ctrl+J.
8. You should now be firing your repair laser and have SETA activated at the same time. A repair that would normally take 10 minutes now will only take one!
9. Once your ship is repaired, re-dock and buy SETA again. (It helps to have the docking computer as you won't have to wait for the auto-pillock to dock)
SECTION B
-Repairing a station.
Since stations will take much longer to repair and they cannot move, there are a few changes in the method.
1. Get a Panther (or a M1 if you can afford it) and fill up all the docking bays with cheap M5s which all have SETA on them.
2. Fly your carrier next to your station.
3. Eject SETA from your carrier.
4. Use the same Ctrl+J method described in section A.
5. You will have to keep an eye on your oxygen as you only have 2 hours of it. (10 minutes real time at SETA X10)
6. When you are low on oxygen, enter your carrier again.
7. Open the docked ships menu and transfer a SETA over from one of the M5s.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 6 until station is repaired.
