Hull Auto Repair!

So... We once had auto hull repair. This would be amazing for explorers. Imagine if it ran off of fuel. 8)

It would save a slot in some explorers as we wouldn't need to put in a cargo bay to go with the limpet. It's a fantastic thing to add to the game.

I actually disagree...

I once made emergency repairs to my ship on some tiny rock on the other side of SagA with a tiny 1d repair limpet controller and it was one of the best parts of the whole trip. It actually felt like surviving rather than just existing...

I think exploration would be far more enjoyable and involved if FD really went for it on various survival mechanics...

More frequent repairs to the ships hull and modules, topping up life support for crew and passengers, CMDR actually needing to take food and water along to survive...etc

I've suggested guardian regenerative armour before.
Heavy, requires (a lot) power, but regenerates slowly when not taking damage for 15-30 seconds.
Has a built in AFMU style repair unit, which has limited ammo that it consumes to repair the hull, restocking requires Guardian materials and elements.

Since it's in the old game I was hoping for one using normal tech I could put on an explorer ship.

I'd love a limpet that used material from other ships to repair your own. Have a cloud of piranha eating your foes alive.

Please no more auto anything.... at this rate game will play itself while I'm in work.
