[[File:Battlestations RepairScreen. | [[File:Battlestations RepairScreen.PNG|right|thumb|The repair screen]] You have a general idea now how to attack enemy warships, but now they're out to attack you. Accessing the repair screen and making the most of it is the difference between a novice and a veteran, so always make the most of the repair screen. Various elements of the repair screen are outlined below. | ||
To the left is the '''ship status panel'''. It shows you where on your ship an emergency has occurred, as well as what kind of emergency it is. It does not, however, allow you to solve the problem; this is discussed later in the guide. | To the left is the '''ship status panel'''.

The '''arrow displays''' on the outside of the ship diagram shows you where your ship is ''leaking''. A leak means your hull is pierced below the water line, and your ship is taking on water. Leaks are very bad news - your ship will slowly loses health as water rushes in. The severity of the leak is how many arrows are lit up - one arrow means it's pretty minor, whereas three arrows means a hole so large your ship is almost certainly going to go under. | The '''arrow displays''' on the outside of the ship diagram shows you where your ship is ''leaking''.

Starting at the top, the first diagram that appears is one of the two '''fire icons'''. A strike to any flammable section of the ship starts a fire. The fire icon will light up, and that section of the ship will slowly take damage and the fire icon will go from yellow, to red, and then to flashing red. Once the section of the ship has taken 100% damage (either from the fire or from an enemy attack) your ship's ammo magazine or fuel tank will explode, causing your ship to go under in single player mode. In multiplayer mode, this explosion does not deal any damage, but it does mean that any more hits to that section will cause an underwater leak. | Starting at the top, the first diagram that appears is one of the two '''fire icons'''.
