===Onboard Ship Repair (Damage Control)===
''Main article: [[Damage Control]]''

Ships can repair themselves if they have maintenance supplies. They automatically repair themselves if it's a malfunction, if it's due to combat damage, however, they will have to be assigned to repair the item via the Damage Control screen. 

This is a lengthy process by the time scales of combat, but it will repair all internal components with enough supplies. Damage Control sections increase repair speed, but a ship can carry out repairs without one. In [[CSharp|C#]], you will want a [[supply ship]] to resupply your ships with MSP. In [[VB6]], you can use the "Equalize Main." button in the Task Group window to distribute [[MSP]] evenly in the task group. 

This will not repair armor. Armor damage has to be repaired at a shipyard (or in a carrier, if your ship can fit within one).
