So, I am playing on a Coalition BC as a science ship and recently discovered that repair tools are of the same slot as useless "Tsar" cannons. Yet, when I tested the tools - they do not repair. Is it supposed to be so? If yes - why not to consider a possibility of a support BC. This will make a ship class rather unique and especially useful for big flotilla fights. I don't think it will be OP since a BC can always be targeted and taken out first. In addition, it makes a great RP addition to "refitted" ships like I do for SCEC.
Ideas?
Repair ships that nobody uses. Besides, the description of the gun says it uses a spray of nanobots and does not require any manipulators so locking them to repair-ships is not a must.

They're locked via a plugin in multiplayer. If you're able to mount them on anything but the repair ship on the server, it's a bug and you should report it.
