urm... while that's pretty much accurate that each race (except the Borg) have repair ships in A2, in FleetOps B2, as far as Im aware, its just the Federation that has repair Ships.

While I do miss having repair ships while i'm romulans or some other race, I do quite like it that way it is, as the Feds typically have some of the weakest stations (starbase/platforms) the repair bot is an almost essential tool in their armory.

I think the only other race that could prob do with repair ships, would be the Romulans as their station's firepower is also pretty poor, but with platforms being so cheap to build compared to the other races, I dare not complain too loudly

Yup and the whole Star Trek universe is reallity  

god damn kingons wont come over for dinner agin i hope thay leev the wepinds at home. my cat still has not gotin over last time i sher its fer will grow back.

I don't know if the idea of a repair beam is that bad. It's more reasonable than the futuristic extendable armor that Admiral Janeway brought back in time to Voyager. Imagine if the beam just reinforces the shields and maybe replicates hull plating and armor? Basic stuff, maybe couldn't repair engines, but the concept is there.

i am truly sorry for this bit of spam
