Manual powerplant repair as an Odyssey functionality

[Coehoorn]

Good morning!

I suggest implementing a method of manual repair of the powerplant while landed and disembarked. The inability to repair the powerplant is a serious lack of functionality which seriously impedes long-range exploration and the overall experience. One should be able to shut it down and repair it with a selection of materials.

The multi-limpet-controller and the powerplant repair were two things I always imagined and wished for, and given that one of them is becoming reality soon, I feel like the other is in reach, too. That's why I will not listen to my peers this time, and post this suggestion, hoping to improve the game I love.

This is the main argument alot of people have for wanting ship interiors. Making manual repairs.

You're saying a multi limpet controller is planning to be implemented? I've not heard this before

Ngl that's pretty awesome. I'm very surprised that noone is talking about this. I'll have to revisit some of my older builds and see how I can use this.

EDIT: I'm wondering how this will work exactly. I have a class 5 repair limpet on my AX ship because it repairs alot more than the others but it also allows you to fire 3 of them. I dont need that because its usually just me by my lonesome out there. So could i now equip a decontamination limpet and a collector while still keeping the efficiency of the class 5 repair? I hope they dont nerf the efficiency with the higher classes.

I would like that. You want to repair ship automatically - you have AMFUs and repair limpets. You want to use internal space for something else - you must do repairs yourself when it's neccessary as part of Odyssey on foot experience.

Bad for people suffering from OCD.. I dont see a need that we 'have' to repair our PP except for a nice activity. The galaxy is full of places where you can repair. People have been out in the black for years without a PP ever failing.
