Engineers repairing subsystems through the repair vehicles works now. AFAIK there is no way to reliably repair a non-playership hull. Some people have suggested the problem is the shipyard usually needs resources and doesn't have them (ever) so it just endlessly waits. No idea if true or not, but it almost never seems to work one way or another.

No, ship hull repair still not fixed. I lost 3 freighters due to them following me around like m0r0ns even after excusing them from squad.

However there is a working mod that allows you to tell the freighter(s) to park it called 'manual command extension'.

EDIT: updated to specify hull.

I still can't get my engineers to repair the ships sub-systems, on a Taranis I have an engineer with 20 Welders assigned and he isn't fixing the damned engines am I missing something?

My engineers still do nothing, even with engineering at lvl 5.

So how the hell are you supposed to repair boarded ships which you need to take out the engines and jumpdrive to do?

So far from what i see :

subsystem are repairing normally with engineer on board (only subsystem, like engine/jump drive, you still need to repair turrets/shields and hull at shipyard)
try damaging one of your ship engine or destroy it and you will see it work

But

subsystem are only repaired if your ship carries construction drones so forget about repairing captured ship with zero engine if you cant put drones in them. Or edit your save to repair engine http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=350404

some type of ships have no drone bay (Balor frigate, Sucellus destroyer...) and cant be repaired when captured

It's working for me. Just talk to an engineer on a station. There, you will have an option to repair a single ship or all your ships at once. Without any drones.

you are forgetting that the ship must get to the station

I did it 5mn ago with a Balor captured and zero engines, with ship dealer at a station, dont work. Just capture another Sucellus that was with the Balor,dont work also

Both ship have engineer with level 4-5 stars.

But it worked for my Titurel (the reaver freighter) since he had drones.

we arent talking repairing engines/jump-drive they arent repaired at shipyard but by your engineer (from my experience, the shipyard dont fix engines/jumpdrive only hull+turrets+shields)

so boarded ship with zero engine simply cant be repaired at shipyard even if you can issue the order and if the money is takenfrom you.

Wait you can repair freighters in your squad through Engineer? Mine just shows no ships to repair.

Thank you for the info you guys, makes me confirm that i'll wait until these bugs are fixed before i dip into the trading part of the game. I'll just continue to play the role of the mercenary for now.

Rereading your post i'm wondering, you are talking about engineer at a shipyard, or ship dealer at a shipyard? Because so far its only ship dealer that do repair (and no global repairs, just ship by ship and the ship has to go dock for that).
You confirm its engineer who do it now for boarded ships with zero engines?

edit: after testing myself, engineer dont repair other ship than yours at a shipyard, its still the shipdealer who repairs other ships, and one by one. How do you get that option to repair them all at once?

On a side note, when my engineer (5 stars) is repairing subsystems, they arent repaired more than 75%, happen all the time on all my ships. I intentionally destroyed some jumpdrive and engines on my ships to see it working. When they are repairing you see that all construction drones the ship carries are in use.

I dont know about subsystems. The only case i had, is that my frighter was on about 85% hull. I met this engineer. Not the trading guys. There i had the option to repair all my ships. Even for those who are not docked.
I will check again and will let you know.
