It's simple. There are stations that only repair 75% to prevent you from luring a tough mission target such as a gunboat to the station and constntly repairing yourself until you beat it. This way you can repair, but you get worn down if you try to use this tactic. I imagine its a deterent to soloing missions.

MOVE ALONG!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not the one posting threads whining about every little thing am I? Look, if you need to repair, warp to Naboo, Tatooine, or Corellia....it's not THAT HARD is it?

This is like saying "Why don't all starports let you travel instantly like the Theed Starport?"
Basically it's for the roleplay and a hint of realism. If everything is available from every city/planet/station that I go to then why would I ever leave the one I started on?

Exactly. Here's another example of whatthe devs are trying to prevent: Halfway through my Tier 3 mission today I limped back to the Dant Space Station to repair all the damage it would allow. If I were to jump out of the system to repair my ship 100% I would have failed the mission. So I could do partial repairs and continue my mission but, not get fully repaired. Which I think is fair.

I bet you'd go to a gas station in the middle of the Arizona desert and complain that they don't have rib-eye steaks for sell...

Ok there are a few issues I really dont like or understand
Why is it that some space stations can only repair 75% of your ship max. Seems kinda of lame to me, let us repair our ships fully.
Also why do we have a choice of what % to repair your ship? Who would ever pick anything other then full? If your lacking in funds that bad that you cant fully repair your ship I would say DONT FLY!
Anyone else have comments on this topic?

Just seems to be in high level npc areas, seems a bit pointless with hyperdrive (dant station says it needs new shipments so it might just be a bit of RP)

Hmm and what about this... MULTIPLE REPAIRS. Repairs prices are based on percentage to whole. Repair your destroyed ship 75%. 25% is left, run off return repair it 75%. 75% of 25% is roughly 19% added to the original 75%. Meaning 94% repair.
Some stations essentially are falling apart in means, under developed planets such as Dant, Rori, Yavin, Dath; Planets that should not be able to WASTE their resources on fixing your ship when they can use their materials on repairs that may happen to their space station. The station support hundreds of people is a little more important then you and your little ship.
This is a role playing game. You are NOT King/Queen of the universe, you do NOT get everything the way you want it. That is life, grow up and move on.
