If a ship takes ten to die and rec ieves 20 hits...can playing a R/O4 save the ship?

-If you are asking whether a single R/O4 can negate 11 points of damage, the answer is no. It only provides 4 repair for use on immediate damage should you wish. So, if your ship has Strength 8, 2 Shields and your opponent targets your ship with 20 points of weapons damage, the R/O4 can repair(prevent) 4 of those. You still get dead by a 6-point margin.

Multiple R/O4s, however, could do the trick.

Good luck

That seems ludicrous to me. If the ship takes 10 to kill and you do 20 to
it, the remainder goes where? It's wasted. If you play the R/O4 it repairs
the last four points the ship took, it shouldn't have to negate all the other
damage as well.

The R/O4 would prevent four points of damage.

At the point were the damage is actually dealt, there is no ship left to repair.

It would be nearly impossible to kill ships if massing didn't take care of cards like that. The only reason to dump 10 extra damage points in is to prevent your opponent from using a card like Repair Delivery or Partial Regeneration, etc. from fixing their ship.

And, let us not forget the ever popular R/L2 "You Missed Me By That Much!" card.
