I believe this is intended. A few spirecraft can't be repaired, shield bearers are one, martyrs are another.

This is actually by design with this and I think two other types of spirecraft.

Then maybe there should be something at the start of the game when the player is picking minor Factions that would say something about the ones that they won't be able to repair?

For being immune to repair I think the high level spire shieldbearers could use some more HP.
I cannot think of any reason to spend a titanite (for MK V I think) asteroid for something with 72m health and no guns.

Jeez, will you guys ever be happy with their HP? How many buffs in HP have they gotten since they have been introduced? I would agree that 72M is too low for a Mk. V, but really, we sound ungrateful. >:(

its because at low HP they're not useful. They probably need a different hp -> size formula (say, with a minimum size greater than 0).

Agreed. Normal, repairable forcefields benefit from the minimum size of 0; it helps them live long enough to get repaired. Unrepairable forcefields are more of a protect to the death type of unit. As such, shrinking to 0 kind of defeats its purpose of "to the death".

If nothing else the line that said "no repair restrictions" should be edited to say something close to "almost no repair restrictions" or just say what can't be repaired.
Before I was thinking that the words "no repair restrictions" ment no repair restrictions were in place.

Talking about "Spirecraft minor Faction [hard]" in the game setup options.

It's "(No Repair) Restrictions" not "No (Repair Restrictions)"

Isn't English awesome?
