I think it would be nice to use the repair laser as efficiently as described above, without having to resort to this exploit. Why should it not be possible to advance time while doing boring things such as using the repair laser?Technojerk36 wrote:Since the repair laser repairs (If you're playing TC) only 20 hull points/second you might get bored if your ship is anything bigger than a M4. I recomend flying next to the Trading Station, ejecting your SETA, ejecting your self and picking up the SETA in your space suit. You can now "SETA repair" press and hold left control (while aimed at your ship) this will fire your repair laser. Now press and hold "J" this will activate SETA. Hold both keys until your ship is repaired. When you get back into your ship, the SETA will disappear. Now dock at the trading station and buy a new one. Simple really.
Also, I find it very annoying that the repair laser keeps on turning itself on and off because you keep on running out of energy. It would be nicer if the repair laser were constantly on. I assume that this can be accomplished by making the astronaut suit produce more power than the repair laser requires.
