Allow using the AFMU on the ship's power plant while docked at a station/outpost/mega ship

As is you aren't allowed to repair your ship's Power Plant with an AFMU because the AFMU needs the Power Plant to power it.

All landing pads in the game super charge your ship's shields, meaning they are helping power your ship.

In the case that a CMDR is docked at a station/outpost/mega ship that has no ability repair, it would make sense to allow the CMDR who actually does carry a way to do ship repairs to take power from the station/outpost/mega ship to be able to stop relying on the ship's Power Plant for a while, and be able to repair it.

This would also allow CMDRs with two AFMUs to fully repair their ships (other than paintjob and ship integrity) at any landing pad.

I think they limit what at certain stations some station for a reason.

Rightly so. I remember making stealth runs to several outposts that paid big time.
First post, second post, third post. None sold fuel. I was on vapors getting into an enemy station that sold fuel. A well learned lesson.
I look before I leap now. A big win is never guaranteed.
So I vote no.

I've never seen a station/outpost which doesn't sell fuel; interesting!

Regardless, in-game you're able to buy a fuel-scoop and just scoop. You're also able to buy an AFMU and repair (except for the AFMU itself and the Powerplant).

Given you're giving up a slot for those capabilities in both cases (fuel and repair), what's the problem with the OP's suggestion? You're not magically adding a "repair" button stations which don't have it, you're just allowing for one more module to be repaired under a very limited set of circumstances.


Having said that; is it really worth the effort for such a limited set of circumstances? There can't be that many stations around without repair which are also far away from a station which does offer repair services?
