==Overview==

A group of ships, equipped with remote repair units, attacks another fleet in the usual manner. When one of their own ships is attacked, some or most of the group targets that ship with the remote repair units. In this way, the repair power of the whole group can be focused on the one vulnerable ship. When the opposing force switches targets, the repair target also switches.

This is more powerful than having a self-repper ('local tank') on each ship, since for (n) ships, you can get the repair power of (n-1) repping units focused on one ship. Remote reppers also have a faster cycle time, which can make a big difference in combat.

This is more powerful than having a self-repper (local active tank) on each ship, since for (n) ships, you can get the repair power of (n-1) repping units focused on one ship. Remote reppers also have a faster cycle time, which can make a big difference in combat.
