[ecdmvdmy] Self-repairing starship

Realistically the best way for a starship to survive extended voyages in outer space is for it to aggressively be able to repair itself.  This is the same strategy employed by life.

I've only seen it in villains' ships, e.g., the Borg.  Perhaps audiences are creeped out by mechanical things acting intelligently as if alive.

Previously about surviving space battles.

Inspired by designing a robot to avoid damage in collisions. Humans' collision avoidance also includes the ability to heal.
