Damaged hull using the repair module.

[DogTailRed2]

So there I was 1200 ly from Lave. Got a bit too close to a sun and took some heat damage.
So I clicked repair on my thrusters.
BAM! Dropped me out of super-cruise with 97% hull.
A warning would have been nice!

Well you wouldn't want to work on them while they're on, now would you?

Welcome to the club. I think everyone does that sooner or later. Hopefully only once!

What confuses me is that they still consume power. What's the point of 'turning it off' if it's not really turned off?!

Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like the kinda stuff I could do by accident.

Well this happens, the module you are repairing is effectively turned off.

New modules such as repair should be tested prior to deep space flight, now you know.

Lol the only time I did this was in Lave, too.

I've never used them, but I kinda assumed everyone knew that all repairs must be done in normal flight.
I guess I read more posts than others

Before you try it, don't try repairing your FSD while in supercruise too....(yeah, I tried both in my Asp!)

Pilot: Does that Port engine sound like it's a little off to you?
Co-Pilot: Gauges show it's running a little hot, and the oil pressure is right on the line, but it's holding.
Pilot: <grabs hammer> Take the stick, I'm going to go out there and smack it a few times, see if it straightens up.
Co-Pilot: Uhh... We're doing 300 knots at 20,000 feet, wouldn't it be better to..
Pilot: <opens hatch> Pft.. nervous Nelly.. what could go wr.. <gets sucked out and into engine>
Co-Pilot: Well, that, for one thing....

I assumed the system needs to have power going through it/or set aside for it, for diagnosis purposes

LOL! I'd forgotten about that.
