Reconstruction/repair rules

[P3D]

Auto-repair tonnage is something that was not really thought over. They were supposed to be used to repair only lightly damaged ships, but this is an unnecessary complication introduced back in N-2.

Then I suggest that they be removed for the sake of simplicity if for no other.  Is anyone even using this repair in the current war?

Me no understand.
Mesa use BeePee to repair see-through in shippy or mesa no use BP to repairs holes in shippy?

Yes, I have done so on several ships that suffred superfical dammage.
And i like the principle that you basically do not have to pay BP for exactly everything. So i think we should give port a bit of bonus BP for repairs, but not at the present rate, as that is quite over the top. But giving a port 1/BP (per year or per half year?) per level that can ONLY be used for repairs (and nothing else, such as refits) seems reasonable to me. And you would pay full money for it as well. This would make it a little less painful to repair ships, while not making it free.

So the following rate then of Autorepair?

type 0, 0.5 BP
type 1, 1 BP
type 2, 2 BP
type 3, 3 BP
Type 4, 4 BP
Type 5, 5 BP

That seams more reasonable.

Ahoj!
I'm not quite sure what I'm doing, but ...

type 0, 0.5 BP
type 1, 2 BP
type 2, 3 BP
type 3, 4 BP
Type 4, 6 BP
Type 5, 8 BP

The jump from 0 to 1 is to remind players that 0 Type bases REALLY are very small affairs, and the capacity of the type 4 and 5 bases reflects their size, economies of scale, expertise, etc.

Now, what did I just do?

I think it is better to jump the other way, and give type 0 ports zero auto repair. The only problem i can see with that is how it affects small tenders, but that can be delt with seperatly.

Borys changes

current  -> change
type 0 500 tons = .5 BP -> 0.5 BP
type 1 2000 tons = 2 BP -> 2 BP
type 2 4000 tons = 4 BP -> 3 BP
type 3 6000 tons = 6 BP -> 4 BP
Type 4 10000 tons = 10 BP -> 6 BP
Type 5 16000 tons = 16 BP -> 8 BP

Its better but its uneven cost to results.

Costs to build and results compared
Type 0, cost $5, 0.5BP
--$10 / BP per BP of repair
Type 1, cost $15, 2BP
--$7.5 / BP per BP of repair
Type 2, cost $30 3BP
--$10 / BP per BP of repair
Type 3, cost $45 4BP
--$11.25 / BP per BP of repair
Type 4, cost $60 5BP
--$10 / 0.83 BP per BP of repair
Type 5, cost $80 6BP
--$10 / 0.75 BP per BP of repair

I would suggest that there be a simple linear climb to cost and capability.

Type 0, cost $5, 0.5BP
--$10 / BP per BP of repair
Type 1, cost $20, 2BP
--$10 / BP per BP of repair
Type 2, cost $30 3BP
--$10 / BP per BP of repair
Type 3, cost $40 4BP
--$10 / BP per BP of repair
Type 4, cost $60 6BP
--$10 / BP per BP of repair
Type 5, cost $80 8BP
--$10 / BP per BP of repair
