Thread: Deep Space Repair
I have been getting disabled a lot coming out of DS recently, but only when I have died. It seems, as someone above said, that one of the overloads is still trying to run without the power to do so, therefore disabling everything including the DI. All the components are at 100% health. Also important to note is that I can still fly around and hyper.
If I try a reactor pump it says my reactor is already overloaded or something and wastes my ability.
If I do an eweapons it runs succesfully and resets everything, allowing everything on my ship to run again.

My weapons, shield, boosters and capacitor r disabled. So yes I have to land or go back into DS and hyper backout for any kind of functionality. Otherwise all I can do is fly around...slowly.
Is there some kind of miscommunication here?
your components are disabled due to low power. if you are using eo4, it is possible that eo4 is still running while reactor overload isnt. this would cause your engine to draw TEN TIMES the power it would without the overload, and without reactor overload 4 to double your reactor output everything will be disabled but your engine which is running at about half efficency since with everything else disabled you STILL dont have enough power.
you need to use eweaps/eshields/ethrust to reset all running droid programs (namely eo4)
if you dont belive us, then while you are disabled hit "v" and take a look at the HP on all your disabled parts. if they are at full HP, then they are got repaired.
Funny. I think I just started using EO4 recently. I am going to go back to EO3 and I should fine...right?
Also then why would going in to DS anf hypering out solve this?

Anytime you leave deepsapce (whether by hyperdrive or the explosion shortcut) you get automatic credit-free, decay-free repairs to all of your components and chassis.

For the DS the answer is correct. In terms of EO4, basically probably yes, but you should use RO4, that should fix the problem most of the time if you have an 1500ish RED engine and you start WO3 prior to EO4. If you don't have it... well... get one

Wel problem solved. I changed from EO4 to EO3 and everything is working fine. Thanks for your patience with me.
Eek! Bad solution if you ever want to PvP.
A couple of trouble shooting questions:
1. Are you using a crafted or looted/RE'd engine right now?
2. Are you running RO4 and WO3 BEFOREyou try to run EO4?
3. If you are doing both of those and it still doesn't work, what is your current energy use, what is your reactor regen, and what is the energy use on your engine?

When I have been exiting DS by way of being killed it seems only my engine and sometimes armor are being repaired and I have to go back to DS and exit again via hyper to have weapons, droid module, shields, booster and so on repaired. Anyone seeing this?
Yeah, it happens sometimes. Just pop back to DS and then back out again, you will be ALL GOOD!
