Someone submitted this idea where you would have to put down somewhere, or stop, dead stop, in space and switch the PD into "Battery Mode". Which I thought was a good idea, this would allow you to take the powerplant offline to make repairs to it. the PD would only have X amount of power , kind of like the life support timer, so you'd have X amount of time to get your repairs in before you are dead out of power. And of course the imposed restriction was that the battery could only power life support and AFMUs
The reason why the OP is asking for powerplants to be added to the repairables list is because it's like the last module that isn't repairable, and thus explorers are unable to be self sufficient. However the flip to this is that IF space legs is going to be a thing, then yeah it would be great to get out of our chairs and be able to repair everything, emulating Mr Scott and the Enterprise. If that becomes a thing, then I could support re-balancing the AFMU to repair certain modules or even remove it from the game completely.
However if Space Legs doesn't become a thing, then yeah, explorers should have some way to be able to repair everything on their ship through some game mechanic or another.
