The sentry idea is an interesting quality of life feature, I wonder how others would interpret this as far as balance goes

I have been trying out running the tech to get sovereign immunity quickly, and using the flag battleships to spearhead civ invasions, so I have battleships 'early' in the game that level quickly but get 100s of points of damage each. I also would like to see repair ships come long before you need to research battleship tech.

Or at least repair at star base/planet to be something like 10% of max points per turn for bigger ships, so a ship with 1hp would fully heal in 10 turns parked at a star base/planet.  

Is there a balance concern?  It's no different than me manually checking every single fleet every turn- which is fine on smaller maps, but soon as you play on Large it gets to be a real pain that dramatically slows gameplay. 

Hey all, 

Thanks for bringing up your concerns with ship repairing balance. I agree that a maximum of 4 health healed naturally per turn feels harsh and will be taking a look at this with the team at Stardock. We want the game to feel fair and rewarding, and ship repairing should be a limiting mechanic in general but I agree the limit feels harsh. 

Best,

How about a civ policy that increases repair - similar to the US after pearl harbor?
