hey, I read somewhere that if you give a weapon negative damage, it will actually repair your target   you can play this ship then  

If that is true then that would be cool for the repair ship IF woosey would make it.

Also, what about repair drones for fighters and larger ships? they have a tiny beam that looks like it is welding or something? i just throw these ideas in incase anyone wants todot them, even though i will end up doing them... probably, if peoplelike them.

Use a short-range slash beam, probably... except you'd have to control it with SEXPs, so it didn't repair oppo ships. A 'no-damage' slash type beam would be quite good for mounting on, say, a Faustus as a scanning beam (i.e. command briefing ani when they are investigating the Knossos).

 The other thing is to have a support ship set as a repair ship, using the 'is-docked'(?) SEXP to heal any ships when it docks.  Of course, this would hurt the balance of the game a bit.

I was going to make a 'tugboat' type ship - with 8 ecxtremely large engines and a huge reactor section - to both 'pull' crippled ships, and to provide additional energy to power emergency systems and possibly some defensive turrets on the towed ship.  would be quite neat for defensive missions.

This gives me a great idea for a SAR craft for my own MOD (engine 'kills' are rather common)...

Thanx aldo!

The tugboat idea is good.
Sexp for a beam that has 0 damage a long life, no buildup/cooldown, and really really small fire wait 0.05 or so.  And NO impact explosion.  The ship would need to have it's beams disabled, or only selectivly enabled.

Sexp the turrets to fire at the same weapon turret or subsystem for continuity's sake.
The hauled ship should have a engine subsystem strength of 2% or so with sexps to keep it repaired at 2%.

Then waypoints and capship speed limits.  

Definitely make sure the tugboat can't accept any player orders to attack or capture anything or else it'd run off of the waypoint and the towed ship would keep going.

And I don't think the negative damage modifier would work guys.  I've read of posts at the VBB of people trying it but failing.
Though I'm not going to stop anyne from trying it themselves, Nobody's perfect.
