• It's easier to ensure that no encounters expected to result in combat (e.g. pirates) are avoided by reactivating the torus drive before an aggressor can close sufficiently (none of those ships ever have their scanClass changed).
• The more tedious 'crawl-by' masslocks are both easier to avoid and take less time to escape (initial masslock occurs as normal but the torus drive can then be reactivated).

• Lave to Zaonce - evaded a few large freighters until got too close to one of them (traders presumably) but was masslocked by police.
• Lave to Leesti - was masslocked by a large pack of ships on the edge of the scanner who, moments later, turned out to be pirates

Welcome Nexus-Hex!

There is a repairTime variable near the end of Scripts/repairBots_Repair.js, you can set it as you wish.

For more charges you should change all instances of missionVariables.repairCounter = 10; in the same file.
If you define a global variable like this._maxRepairs = 100; in the first lines and use it in these locations then you can change the amount in one place.

Another way if you want deny the damage of a specific equipment: look after in which [wiki]equipment.plist[/wiki] is this equipment defined and add an "damage_probability" = 0.0; line into the parameters.

Please ask again if you need general help also like where is your addons folder etc.

the repairTime variable is not located in repairBots_Repair.js.
It's located in repair bots_System.
And there are multiple instances of it.

Sorry, I mean _System. You must change all instances.

Here it is. I set to 100 charges and 2-10s delay between repair attempts. Note high tech items need more attempts.

Is it possible to tweak the Coluber HUD to include the MFD positions of the ExtraLargeHUD?

Easily: replace the mfd related lines in [wiki]Coluber_HUD_CH01[/wiki] Config/coluber_hud_ch01.plist with similar ones from [wiki]HUDSelector[/wiki] Config/hudselector-extralarge.plist . Tweaking further to do not cover anything is longer, need many restarts while adjusting numbers.

What about replacing the cross hair of Coluber's HUD to the one of ExtraLargeHUD?
