Problems to repair a ship in a remote system.
I have a scout ship A going around the galaxy to grav and geo survey.
Its jump engine broke down, and it cannot come back to a colony for repair.
So, I sent a maintenance ship B to the system where A is.
But, with these two fleets/ships floating together in the space (or also joining them in one fleet), I didn't find how to repair A.
To do this, I had to send the ships in orbit around a body, designate this body as a colony, select it in the Economics window, and finally a shipyard appears, i.e. B, where to repair A.
Is there a way I could repair a ship in space, without creating a new colony?
Because in my galaxy, there are several stars without any body in orbit. Nothing.
If A were broken in one of these systems, how could I have it repaired, as I couldn't create a colony?
