How do you repair damaged storage units on crashed ships?????

money

and only money

Hover your mouse pointer over the slot to be repaired. The tooltip will show the cost in units. If you want to go ahead, click and hold to carry out the repair. Take note that each slot you repair the price will go up.

Thanks pgrace,
I have not noticed the tooltip, I'll watch for it!
again thanks.

Gah! HG has really overreacted to something here. Salvaging from crashed (beached) ships has a long nautical tradition going back millennia. You'd think a UK software house would know this (e.g., Cornwall ;-)

I hadn't realized that the cosf of repairing each succeeding slot increases. That really makes the bother of tracking down a crashed ship not worth the effort. Pity, I was getting pretty good at solving the numerical series questions!

Repairing slots is actually cheaper than trading-in the ships. That's because the trade-in will be about 50% lower than the initial value you have paid. That's confusing because both are marked as ship 'Value' in the game. But it's easy to verify: just buy a ship and compare it with another one (without accepting), you will see that your ship value is highly reduced.

I start with junk ships and exchange them with better crashed ships until I have what I want, then I repair the slots once i have the final type I like. That's only about half the slots of the final ship, quite expensive but still cheaper than trading-in.
The guy who has set this in the game must be a broker or something, such people always think in % :=)
