Buying Time: Using a spanner for repairs

<< < (3/3)

Imagine:
I venture to say that any captain that just yells at you for being terrible and ragequits after the game (or better yet, while the game is still in progress) is not someone worth listening to :)

As for the topic itself, yeah, I actually use the spanner on the hull if it's getting peppered as well. If there's damage on it but we're not taking constant fire, I'll mallet.

Captain Smollett:
Ha, can't believe he called you a bad engineer.

On my Junker the balloon is the Captain's responsibility.  For goodness sakes the captain sits right beneath it. In extreme cases of balloon locking I'll call the secondary engineer for help but the primary engineer stays glued to the hull.

Anyways, don't worry about captains like that. Seems like you're engineering just fine.

Shinkurex:
naufrago, I know you know where I stand on this... you've kept me alive countless times, and you are deadly with a flare :))... you are always welcome aboard my ship anytime :)

Queso:
I know you've been on my ship and one of my engineers may have given you a bit of flak. The one thing Is like to say is that sometimes it's better to do a bit of overheal and get the rest of the ship fixed up rather than baby sitting the hull out of combat. Otherwise it's a good tactic to use if your going to be baby sitting either way.

Doing this is only acceptable if nothing else needs attention.  Otherwise you're wasting a lot of time.  And keep in mind that the Spanner is just plain inefficient for repairs; it repairs 20 HP per second, where the other tools are 24 and 28.  Sometimes you're better off just letting the armor take 200 damage and then repairing with your mallet.
