How do I repair outside my home hub?

Carry ORE in cargo and repair at a terminal.

You'll need

OREin cargo; for repairs mid-fight, an
Armor Repairerwith
repair chargesor a
Nanite Regenerator

Load ORE into cargo before you leave. A breach terminal takes ORE from cargo; only a hub pad uses your stash.
Tether to a refit terminal with the harpoon and wait out the 8-second hack; once authorised, tethering again skips it.
Repair: 5 ORE per 100 armor, 10 per 100 hull and 10 per burned control rod.

Good to know

You can be attacked while tethered.
Repair charges come from the Quartermaster; armor repairers reload automatically from charges in cargo once their loaded charges run out.
A Standard Nanite Regenerator repairs 70 HP/s for 16 s, more with higher quality and armor-repair bonuses.

Changed in Beta Patch 2: nanite repair used to be a flat amount.
