Repairs have ceased to happen.. Any ideas?

I may have read something wrongly but it seems that you are saying that ships with no priority repairs will get repaired after all priority ships have been fully repaired. No?

Well, I can say that in this case I had ships with 2-3 components needing repairs not get repaired at all for three turns in a row while 40+ repair points stood by and watched. This was with no repair priorities set, everything was to the left.

There were no other ships there needing repairs, absolutely nothing got repaired.

Shrug, I shan't make that mistake again! All fixed now at any rate!

Yeah. But you need at least one thing in the priority list or it tends to lock up like you saw.

I think part of the confusion stems from how repair priorities worked in SE3, where it did go in order of priorities (and I don't think you could remove anything from the list, just move them up and down).

Most people set their priorities at the start of the game and forget 'em. You can reset them at any time and it is probably a good idea to do so. For instance, if most of your repairs bays were damaged it's smart to remove everything from the list except construction thus ensuring a maximum of repair bays ready for the next turn. On that next turn reset them again to take maximum advantage. IE. supply and engines.
