I'd say keep the bots/bats on snubs, it seems logical they'd be able to do "quick repairs", but caps should fight even more tactically. And making them lose things when they die would be the icing on the cake - losing a capship should HURT a faction. Not just be shrugged off. Plus - presto! Money sink!
Aaaanyway, Battleships are too large to be maintained by a few nanos. Plus - the repair ships might finally see some use. What I am trying to say: "Dont like it the consequences of losing that battleship? Dont go after snubs with carriers and dreads. You might get ambushed."
Just my thoughts
Yeah! i was testing my Repair Ship recently in New York battle... and works really good!

So is there a way to have nanobots repair over time? So you can't just insta repair a BS whilst in fight, but you would have to pull out to the side and let your nanos do work. Maybe we could even have items that would make them work faster, better parts etc.
If we are talking gameplay then leave it as it is.
This is how is more useful the Repair Ship... the New York battle was a perfect example. Capital ships stay together, when one of them is damaged, reduce speed and the repair ship behind will restore slowly your hull while others continue the attack.
I want to say, the Repair ship moves really slow for the size... keep in mind the pilot in the Repair Ship must be dodging HEAVY fire against battleships around while repairing others... not easy task. I would like to meet with anyone dev for testing it good because I noted... event at 300 meters behind a capital ship it still out of range from Nanotool... camera point bug? no idea...

Keep it as it is now. No need to touch Battlecruisers and Cruisers.

You guys are not balancing anything. You are ruining a once great mod. Thanks for ruining this mod.

Thank you for your feedback!
RE: Community Input: Nanobots on Capital Ships - PRJKTLRD - 12-04-2016
My personal opinion is that- snubs and bombers should use Nanobots to repair their hulls... perhaps even gunboats.
About the capitals( cruisers and above), give them a lot more hullpoints and let them only regenerate shields.
edit: transports - depending on the size, too.
RE: Community Input: Nanobots on Capital Ships - Internity - 12-04-2016
No, I do not like the change at all. This ruined the balance even more. Nanobots are part of this game's strategy. Such changes ruin this mod even more. Thanks for asking AFTER you already applied it. You should've made the poll before and after.

I say keep it how it is now but do something to the gunboats shields. They are quiet difficult to deal with. Unless ofcourse the devs make all shields alot harder to kill/drop to start damaging hull and then if thats the base gunboats, cruisers and battlecruisers should only have 1 set of full regens not two or three.

This I like! It would avoid having people to planetdive just because ez blues and too lazy to dock or bring it back "home". Just sayin

If you want to change shields... have them not regen unless you have evaded fire for a set amount of time would in my opinion be a great feature and change pvp more than one might think
and have bots act as they do to jump start the shields in an important moment of the fight
when im low on bots and want to stop a mortar shot,if timed right a shield regen is kind of like a quick "NOPE" to the enemy
"better fire my mortar to finnish em off before i die to a clutch win!"
"nope"
