[1.30][Bug] repair data leak fails

[taronas]

I took a Teladi Faction mission to "repair data leaks"

Went to the station, to 100m within the reported leak. Switched to Space suit and got down.
There is a "broken metal thing" next to the leak.
I use the repair laser on that.

Result: object destroyed, mission failed

Tried that on the other listed target areas, same result.

I successfully repaired data leaks in i.e. the secret satellite things before that way.

Did I something wrong?

Same with me. It's bug.
Advice: Save near leak, and reload if necessary.

Thanks

Can confirm the bug, getting it too. It seems to trigger when the leak is on relatively high HP and gets fixed with one "tick" of repair laser...

I get this on nearly every one i take. The only way I can get round it, is too save and reload the game(Sometimes have to do for each 1 if there are more). Then the damage bar shows damage, and can be repaired.

As save/load may take quite long on some machines i thought i'd share a quick and dirty workaround:

if the data leak is on 100% just shoot it once with your space suit attack laser. (NOT the ships guns!) This will slightly damage the source so it can be successfully repaired.

This works for other repair missions too, if the target is already at 100% health.

same with the repair causing them to fail but worse still they spawn inside the stations mesh and can't be fixed at all.
