Large vehicles, major repairs, and tool kits

I was avoiding invoking the repair rules in the Spaceships series, as they aren't directly compatible with the rules in the Basic Set and the Tech books. My angle isn't to find some way to do this — I could just make something up — but to understand the implications of the limitations of tool kits. I'm using ships from GURPS Tales of the Solar Patrol as good working examples, but I might just as easily have used the tramp steamer or star freighter from Campaigns. I just expect more expertise from the crews of patrol boats and cruisers than I do from those of tramp steamers and freighters.
