Arrrrgh! stupid damage to scan devices is hellish. It doesn't look like uninstalled devices are spared the damage. Any suggestions as to how to get through it all without totally destroying irreplaceable devices?

Everything can be repaired , it will never be lost unless your scrap it , only repair what you need to do the mission till your done.

the obvious question is how? There was that artifact a few months back that restored everything to perfect status... what else repairs modules?

With credits after they break , they still work at 100% till they break and 100% after repaired.

That would explain it. Things like relays I never drove to breaking level... at Vpoor I'd simply sell them when I leveled up then build brand new ones. I never knew you could restore to perfect just with credits. Ah well... something new to learn.

Yep, it's much better to repair.

Repairing a module costs the exact same as building it, except with out the mineral requirement.
