the bug when some build ships not fully repair is weird, becouse all command modules have the "ASSEMBLER" flag, wich allows them to pick up blocks and recreate blocks where needed
i will look to the ships though (they are probably the least finished part of the mod)

First!

The point defense lasers should be bound to defense by default, the stations I reactivate don't restore structure, Ship Big 3 doesn't build right when I make it from a factory and Ship Big 2 won't follow me into battle. Also I have yet to observe the Tractor Beam do anything and I'm not sure the healing lasers are effective or used by the AI and Ship Big 5 is too slow, the AI tries using the Nano Jammer for point defense.

Other than that I like this faction so far, they would benefit from improved shields though. I like to stick with the ships that come with a faction, using command mode to add more ships to my list and collect them all. With this faction however the ship you start with seems the best in the lot. Still I'm managing to overcome the challenge, they do surprisingly well against the Borg and Spikey Plant. The Tinkrell, Crystaline and Sentinels kick their ass though.

the point of the block tractor beam was to allow small ships that can't pick up blocks to allow them to do so. but when i tested with only the REGROWER flagg, the ship didn't even regrow
however, the planned feature of the block is to grap ships, but that is not done yet (becouse i don't know if the ship grabber gun from faction 8 is a beta feature)
i also don't really know why a healing laser exsists when it can only repear damaged blocks, so i think its not fully implemented, but is still really effective on a ship with bigger parts or a station. (if the healing lasers could speed up regrow time as well, you could probably also make parts that make your ship repair faster, and i would really like that)

the shields are intended to be extremely weak, becouse i didn't want big, shielded ships in a faction intended to have many small ships (of course you are allowed to make a big ship, i just want to have a reason to make a swam)

fixed the laser and the ships 1 and 5 (see change notes)
