to start with, i love the feature. the ability to repair at a station is super cool. one problem is if it cant repair or it says (repair area blocked) you get charged anyway. the second problem is, you dont know till you try and repair. then your money is gone. so you move your ship, BAM!!! repair area block (thanks for the 125k) this has to be a bug. i can not afford to use station services till it gets fixed. tomany times it charges the full amount and doesnt repair. thanks.
Is it possible to add a savegame with that specific situation (given it is not on a server?). SP or MP? If MP: maybe you can show a screenshot of how you "parked" and which station you used? The repair should be instant, so moving the ship should not be possible to interfere with the repair process.
I can reproduce this at a Polaris trading station in Sudrystelerit orbit on my multiplayer server. We have landed SVs there for minor repairs, paid for them, and received nothing. I'll look for instructions for getting a savegame from a leased server so I can provide that.
I had same phenomenon and re-produce successfully. Re-produce procedure: 1.2. Take CV's Template that has yellow slashed blocks. 3.Remove yellow slashed blocks then overlapped repair area to the Station. 4.Ride CV and P key to Get Station Services . Have 50,000 CR there. 5.Push Buy button to repair. CR is now 49,676 CR, but display [ Repair area blocked! ] and not repaired yellow slashed blocks. Attached save data to re-produce: TradingStationRepFail-v1.1.5.zip Thanks.
So I tried the station service repair. It gives me a price when I run the repair. Says an area is blocked, but it charges me. Okay I move away from the station thinking I'm too close and try repair again. Blocked again and it charges me. What the heck, why is station service charging for stuff that it can't repair?
It's because for some reason it's set to charge the player for the repair before it actually checks to see if the repair area is blocked or if you have vessels docked. Basically they have it set up in the wrong order. They just need to initiate that check before you actually can pay for the repair, and then display a message on the station services page and prevent you from clicking the button unless the repair area is clear and able to repair.
Well in addition to this I think regular repair bays are doing something. You put in all the required materials in and wait for 30min for the repair to be finished, but then it doesn't do the repair. But it takes the materials and you get the block message.
