Repairs: Mining Drones

Mining drones enable ships to mine asteroids efficiently, processing 1D x 10 tons of ore daily. Repair drones facilitate repairs during combat, allowing for exterior repairs without crew risk, while probe drones survey planetary surfaces and act as communication relays. Damage to ships is categorized into hull damage and critical hits, with specific repair protocols and spare parts requirements outlined for each type of damage.
