“Does repairing from soft death work I try to test it to see if its true.”
The video transcription discusses the possibility of repairing ships that have entered a state of “soft death” in the game. Soft death refers to when a ship is damaged but not completely destroyed. The video shows an attempt to repair such a ship using an SRV (space recovery vehicle). The SRV is supposed to tow the damaged ship to a safe location where it can be repaired, similar to a car recovery vehicle on a motorway.
The test takes place in the Pyro star system, and three ships are used for the experiment: the Blade, A1, and a Prowler. The A1 is put into a soft death state, and attempts are made to repair it using the SRV. Unfortunately, the interactions between the ship and the SRV are glitchy, with various mechanics not working as intended. Initial attempts to repair the ship by placing it on a pad and using the ship’s repair menu prove fruitless. Other attempts, including storing the ship in a hangar and refuelling it, also do not yield any positive results.
Undeterred, the test continues at another station called AR 1, where a different ship, the Turtle, is attempted to be repaired. However, similar to the previous attempts, the repair process does not work, despite the ship and the repair facilities being recognized. Other tests with a Tracutter ship also prove unsuccessful. There is a faint hope that hovering the ship above the pad might rectify the issue, but this too proves ineffective.
In conclusion, the video showcases multiple attempts to repair a ship in soft death state, but unfortunately, none of these attempts are successful. It is worth noting that the failure to repair soft death ships may be specific to the current version of the game and might work differently in different server branches or future updates.
