Sometimes you just can't repair things. Other than that, I would have really liked a tutorial instead of having to watch a YouTube tutorial that didn't cover the basics well enough and left me dying over and over and slowly learning through trial and error.

I tried really hard to like this game but it is not built very well. if you enjoy restarting your game a hundred times to rebuild a ship then this game is for you.
