Partial repairs for weapons have changed a bit. When a partial repair occurs, you get a +1 to +4 penalty to hit. If you successfully repair a partially repaired weapon, between 1-4 hit penalties are taken away. Once you have received a successful repair you can not attempt to fix the weapon again, even if there are still penalties to hit. This is to represent the fact that often when something is broken, or isnt fixed right the first time, it may never be the same again. Kind of like a car that gets in an accident and no matter how much work always has an alignement problem. If the weapon is fully destroyed again, you start from scratch with normal chances to get repairs or partial repairs. Weapon penalties and bonuses will now show up in the weapon status line on the unit readout page.
