Ship repair & the missing menu

1. Confirm whether you are using Early Access, the October Demo, or an older playtest.
2. For the October Demo, look for Damage Report in the piloting interface; this is a historical player reference.
3. If the menu is missing, record your build, save origin, and whether it affects one ship or every ship.

Why older shortcuts differ

In an October demo discussion, a developer explained the move from hotbar-based repair to a menu. An October player reply in a separate repair thread also points to Damage Report. These are dated references, not proof of the current Early Access interface.

If Damage Report is missing

The demo discussion contains different observations about menus and older saves. Record the interface you actually see. Do not dismantle a valuable ship to try an unverified workaround.

What remains unverified

The exact Early Access menu route, repair-item location, costs, and differences between ship and station repairs need a current-build test. No in-game screenshots or tested-build badge are available yet.
