=== Local Armor Repairer ===

~~In this picture from left to right~~, ~~one can see a harbinger with normal engines~~, ~~followed by one with afterburner engaged and finally with microwarp drive. Note the increased brightness of~~ the ~~exhaust in~~ the ~~latter two~~.

An armour repairer, as the name suggests, actively repairs the ship's armour whilst the module is active.

~~== Local Armor Repairer, Hull Repairer and Shield Booster ==~~

The visibility of the armour repairer depends a lot on the ship. Some ships are easy to see repairing, others are not.

~~Here one can see the visual cues of a Harbinger repairing, from left to right, its armor, hull and shield.~~

=== Hull Repairer ===

~~In all~~ the ~~animations~~, ~~there is a shimmering effect which starts at~~ the ~~nose of the spacecraft and proceeds to the tail~~.

Just as the armour repaire repairs armour, the hull repairer repairs hull damage whilst active.

~~The armor repairer is characterized by moderately sized pale green patterns moving across the hull~~. ~~The~~ hull ~~repairer~~ is similar to the ~~armor repairer~~, ~~but features~~ sharper and ~~smaller pale yellow patterns~~. The shield booster is ~~comparatively easy~~ to see ~~with board blue patterns flowing around the~~ ship.

You won't often see this in space, since hull tanking is daft. Whilst similar to the armour repair animation, it is greener and sharper, and the animations are faster.

=== Shield Booster ===

The shield booster does for shield what the two previous modules did for armour & hull.

The shield booster is the easiest of these three to see.

For all three, here is a still picture on a different ship: [[Media:CuesLocalreppers.JPG]]
