Hi,
I have a station built in Hatikvah's Choice I near the gate to Tharka's Cascade XV. The station is sitting at 79% and while it does repair, only 1 repair drone comes out. It has 70 repair drones. I see one repair drone that comes out zips to the back and goes away. The hull goes up by like 1 point a minute or two. The station does have a manager, but no workforce. The loadout screen always shows 0 active out of 70. I thought it might be because the station is always at alert with the slow stream of Xenon coming in, so I added extra defense and pushed into Tharka's Casdade. Now Xenon don't come through all that often and the station is no longer at alert and it's still just one drone that comes out of the front, zips to the back, and goes away with the loadout screen showing 0 active. There are quite a few medium turrets that aren't working, but there are no modules that need to be rebuilt in the Plan Build Menu.
Game version: 8.00(590967)
Save file is unmodified, no mods running.
I'm playing the Emergence Start in Kingdom End

Re: Station only sends out 1 repair drone at a time.
The number of repair drones visually shown does not have much to do with how much is repaired last time I checked. I suggest flying away from the area, even to another sector, and letting it repair in low attention to see if that helps.
You might also want to try with version 9.00 beta in case this issue has already been fixed. That version has made significant balance changes to combat.
In the past there was an issue that the repair speed at the start of the repair was locked in. This meant that if you had 0 drones when repairs started the repair speed would remain very slow until repairs were complete, even if you added hundreds of drones during the repair. I am unsure if this was changed over the years.
Repair speed of stations might also be based on skill, so a 0 star manager might be quite slow making the repairs.

Re: Station only sends out 1 repair drone at a time.
Thanks for the response. It's possible it was due to the repair speed issue you mentioned. I decided to dismantle and rebuild it over again. Now, all 70 repair drones are active when the station is under attack. Thanks!
