Repairing units which are taking damage

Others may disagree with me on this one, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway. I think it would be beneficial to gameplay if units couldn't be repaired for one or two seconds after being damaged. This would also apply to units/structures under construction.

I don't like how a couple of repair units (especially nanotowers with their large range) can keep defensive structures from being destroyed even while being constantly pelted with enemy fire. It just seems... wrong to me. If anything, the game should favor the attacking player rather than the defending player.

yes but you can also repair your units as they take damage, just bind a hotkey to selecting on screen units with less than half health, move them all out the battle and repair them.

Is there a better Way to keep your Enemy from building Units than having him constantly repairing at highcost some unimportant defencebuilding ?
We should make Builders use more Energy and Metall during repair...

Should be up to the modder to decide whether this makes sense.

*bounces head like the saturday night guys*

Why is an optional feature a horrible idea if it will never be used in BA?

have you *seen* the cyclopean horror the tag list is now? The complete and utter unmaintainability? Extraneous features that nobody uses are trouble.
