Lieutenant Commander    Control Rating 1   BRG   
Intended Deployment Time: 3 months   
Maintenance Modules: 30 module(s) capable of supporting ships of 75 000 tons


This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes
This design is classed as a Space Station for construction purposes
This design is classed as a Maintenance Ship for auto-assignment purposes
That is my Maintenance Base.
To use it as an overhaul location you have to put it in a fleet and drag it into position by a Tug.
Then take a ship that you would like to overhaul and direct it to that maintenance Fleet (screen below):

I don't often use Space Stations myself but I would put a few maintenance facilities on a colony in minor systems (to create a small stream of supplies) and drop a maintenance ship in orbit to actually handle the overhauls.  That way I'd have capacity to overhaul ships if needed without tying up much population.

so if i have ships in orbit with maintenance modules in orbit, the other ships can do their overhauls?

You need to make a deep space population

yup, i gave up on the maintenance ships, sent them to the system i have colonies in and emptied them out, theyre going to the breakers next.

I built tugs and sent a couple each to the systems where the SS's are, and when the maintenance get close to extended they run aounf the system and tow the SS's back to the colony where they do the overhauls. then they get towed back into position.

Since i put five of them in the problem system with the aliens popping out of nowhere, havent had any sightings. Started putting SS's in the next system down-chain and one showed up next to the LCrusRon and promply turned into dust bunnies. Still waziting for the salvage vessels to bring it back to the home system. Alien tech, yums.

You may have to be in orbit around a colony to do maintenance.

Gots 10 shuttle bays on the maintenance ships.

The plan was for a ship that could go to the frontier systems and allow the ships there to do their overhauls in the system rather than bring them home to do it. is there something that can do that?

tried the drag and drop. just sits there.

ill try again later in the morn.

thanks

1. For transfering maintenance supplyes you need cargo shuttles.
2. ECM. Just drag and drop, like a weapon.

Primo:
Im assuming i can built a ship around them and fill it with maintenance supplies and then scoot off to say, smallish SS's i have in another system, to pull maintenance on so i dont have to tow them back to the home system. its not working. theres no order available for overhauling.
Am i wasting time, and need to get the tugs moving?

Segundo:
How do i assign ECM/ECCM and weapons to specific firecontrol systems. Ive used the auto assign before and its okay for most, but not for the SS's.

Ayudar!
