Both are dependant on Military labs, so it'd have no effect on gameplay.

not particularly, you cant research "repair bays" and ... something else low lever at the EXACT same time. basically the same time yes, since it goes fast. but with vasari you can. that is the only difference, and its not big enough to matter, but it exists.

Well if you reeeeeally wanna be irked, look at the phase jump inhibitor. It's in the harmony tree for Advent, in the defense tree for vasari, and in the military tree for TEC. Go figure.

Don' know, makes sense to me.  Advent keep harmony in worlds beyond the front lines by trapping their enemies (well, slowing them down and all), TEC think it's a defensive tactic to slow down enemies so they can bring in their forces, and maybe Vasari think of it as a more offensive tactic slowing enemies down elsewhere so they can jump passed them.  'Course, I'm just making up excuses for the fun of it.  Not like it really matters THAT much.  Just adds to varying build up tactics.

Gotta be some bonus for the Vasari, seeing as their repair bays are the worst.....

why it is true

only 15 dps repaired as opposed to 30 by advent and 40 (after research) for TEC

I wasn't being serious Ryat, thus the crying face. I love Vasari, but lets face it, their repair and survival abilities aren't amazing.

but thats modding.

Ah I didnt catch that. What does that mean then if we compare 3x + 15 dps versus the others?

PhaseBattleship:

HullPointRestoreRate
    StartValue 1.500000
    ValueIncreasePerLevel 0.100000

TechBattleship:

HullPointRestoreRate
    StartValue 1.500000
    ValueIncreasePerLevel 0.100000

PsiBattleship:

    ValueIncreasePerLevel 0.100000

Not sure I understand what you mean, or how you get 3x "base rate"?

If you meant Passive Regen rate, then no... its the same as everyone elses.

If you mean the repair structure heals 3x faster than the others, then... no its a static 15 damage per second.

If you're averaging the repair rate of all vasari repair abilites (ie Repair platform + Overseer + Skirantra + reintegration / 4) then yeah, i can see why thats probably 2-3x the average rate of the others.

And Beric, I wouldnt say the Vasaris repair sucks the worst, but rather arguably the best. Where as TEC have two healing methods, Vasari have 3.+ (.+ being reintegration which only effects 2 ships). It all really boils down to the effectiveness of Overseers in comparison to Hoshis, which on paper, overseers are better, but in game, Hoshis seem to do a better job. So I'd say its TEC, followed closely by Vasari, and then Advent for overall ship repair.

TEC Repair Bays actually repair 60 points per second after research, assuming two points are put in Superior Repair.

Overseers don't really suck, it's just that they require a bit of micromanage for their Adaptive Armor. A group of Overseers can be almost necessary to save capital ships being focus-fired. And their other abilities are pretty neat. Though year, Hoshikos are probably the best support cruiser in the game. The only other ship I could see possibly better is the Iconus, but with Repulse's nerf, it's a lot closer.

I dont think thats true. I seem to remember TEC repair starting at 20hp/s then 30hp/s after 1 upgrade, and 40 hp/s after the second.

You may have seen the Repair bay and Hoshi repair stack (as it does) to issue a 60hp/s heal to a unit.

This is the way it was working. Unless they changed it and didnt put it in the logs from the last patch.
