Confession of a Clueless Pirate - Hull Repair

Ok I've been to embarrassed to admit this, but I"m pretty much clueless on ship gear. My main question revolves around Hull Repair, specifically the difference in the + 5 and +8 (or +2, +3 etc) Hull Repair.

What exactly is Hull repair and is it better to have a Higher Hull Repair number or lower?

To me it sounds like +8 would be 8 more seconds before you are able to repair your ship in battle so I've always stuck to the lower Hull Repair, but maybe it's meaning the ship will "heal" 8 seconds sooner.

Unfortunately, you've had that backwards. Hull Repair is one of those stats that increase as you upgrade your ship and its equipment, so a larger number is more desirable.

I don't think it's a timer function, but a flat increase in the actually healing of your ship as you recover from damage. Your ship starts with a base Hull Repair stat and will heal just a bit faster with a higher Hull Repair bonus from equipment, but the best place to heal without using a ship power is in the windlane, where the Hull Repair rates are doubled.

I believe that the higher the number means the more your ship is repaired.
