Is it possible for, say, a spider-like mechanic droid to restore a starship's hitpoints during combat?

I'm AFB, but I believe a repair roll to restore Hull points, like the one to restore hitpoints takes an hour.

For restoring hit points mid-battle, I believe one of the only ways that you can do it is with the Fast Repairs talent from the Outlaw Tech talent tree in Starships of the Galaxy.

There's the Vehicle Mechanic talent in Force Unleashed, which is limited to 2nd Degree droids.

Fast Repairs is limited to jury-rig attempts though, and only provides temporary hit points, which in starship combat are going to vanish very quickly.

So outside of those two, there's really not much that can be done to restore a ship's hit points in the midst of combat, as Lewin is right in that it takes an hour per Mechanics check to repair damage to a droid, object, or vehicle.

I just changed jury rig some. My group is about to blast of Felucia in DoD 1 and I have big a starship fight with the Banshee and some Tie fighters and a Star Destroyer I will do as like a terrain hazard.
I just chamged the jury rig for starship combat so more people had something to do during the fight. As I have a group of 6 players, and Okeefe is the pilot and I knocked out Crash so one of them will have to do the astrogation roll.
