When I was last active, I had a lot of problems flying a Varanus with repair platforms. Namely, most of the time the repair drones would utterly ignore my damage and refuse to help me. (jerks)
Needless to say, this rather... disappointed me, and considering this 'for pay' ship is worse than Fed equivalent free ships... yeah. (DSSV vs. Varanus: DSSV has less crew, 5 more aux bonus, 10% more shields. Yeah, that's fair)
Has that changed?
Campaign: The Fenwick Cycle NWS-DKR9GB7KH
Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?
Beggar's Hollow: NW-DR6YG4J2L : Someone, or something, has stolen away many of the Fenwicks' children! Can you find out what happened to them?
Into the Fen Wood: NW-DL89DRG7B : Enter the heart of the forest. Can you discover the secret of the Fen Wood?

I can't speak for the repair platforms but the Varanus should have +15 to auxiliary.
Last time my little jerks were out about in public areas they were healing every player that came anywhere near the platforms I left all over the place. I bet people were cursing me for trebling the number of entities on the map.
but, the seem to only start repairing after your ship in under 96% hull and sometimes stops at 98%
Now, the drones will repair all PC ships and PC deployed ships.
They will Not repair Kang, the Starbase, or any NPC controlled ship that assists you, which sucks.
Carrier deploy drones heal Kang but the repair platform don't. Something they need to work on.

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
