Repairside

Does the command 'repairside' make the ship repair at a facility on its side?

I am trying to make a station be able to repair ships, but its not a shipyard. I want it to repair either on the left or right side of the station, instead of it going through the station at a weird angle.

Would using the line "repairside = 1" do it?

A few things here. In the station's ODF there should be a line labeled repairhardpoint, or possibly dockinghardpoint. This specifies the hardpoint on the model that the ship goes to when you tell it to repair or decommission at a yard. The ship will align it's root hardpoint with the repairhardpoint so that they sit in the same spot and have the same orientation by default. Repairside can be used to change the way the ship aligns itself. When set to 1 it aligns the left side of the model with the hardpoint, when set to 2 it aligns the right side of the model with the hardpoint, etc. You're going to want to set repairside to either 1 or 2 , depending on the side you want the ship to dock at, and make sure that repairhardpoint specifies a hardpoint in the area.
