Well, if you think of the crew as a four piece band.. the gunner does kind of fall into the "drummer" category..

RearAdmiralZill:
The gunner does tap into simplicity rather often, whereas a buff engineer does mass calculations and runs around with his head cut off for "extra" damage. You have fun with that.

Pickle:
I think you're specifically referring to a "good buffing engineer", rather than the achievement-chasing-swabbies-with-buff-hammers that plague daytime matches.

And why is it that it's now the fashion for a lot of engineers to carry a buff hammer but no extinguisher all of a sudden?  I'm losing track of the number of times in the last week or too I've found myself without an extinguisher on the ship, just lots of buffing hammers.  I've even had a couple of gunners calling for gun repairs because they've brought a buff hammer instead of a wrench..

Nithanil:
^ A thousand times this

RearAdmiralZill:
Gunners can't afford to buff, so that's a no-no.

When I ask for a buffer, a lot of my engies ask if I want fire fighting or not. In very rare and specific circumstances would I ever want a spanner/mallet/buff engie. In random matches, i'd say they are looking for achievements rather than trying to be most efficient. Now if they ask beforehand, then they are genuine of course.
