@Naufrago
I probably muddied the waters by saying hull - when I actually meant I'm theorising about the initial damage to hull armour, based on the shorter cool down of the wrench, rather than it's healing properties.
Two hits of the mallet will take 9 seconds + your reaction time for the second hit, where as 2 hits from the wrench will take 5 seconds + reaction time, while the repair done will be less for the wrench, it will give you back a chunk of hull armour quicker than waiting for the mallet cooldown. As I say I'm merely testing it out and I'm still not convinced myself that it is a good strategy.

is there anyway to get events frontpaged on the Steam hub as the users are most likely to be interested in getting some training.

I contacted Keyvias about this directly through Steam chat and he's generously offered to pin (steam's version of sticky) stuff on the GoIOL hub.

errr... no, it won't. 1x mallet hit = 250hp. 2x wrench hits = 240hp. And the mallet's healing is all frontloaded [this actually gives me an idea for a new repair tool...], so you don't have to wait 5secs. And you'll get a second mallet hit in before you'll be able to get a 3rd or 4th wrench hit in. If you're talking about only using the wrench, it's sub-optimal. If you're talking about using a wrench AND a mallet, it's still suboptimal since the goldfish's armor can break during the 5sec cd before you have a chance to get the mallet hit in.
Sorry for derailing the thread, btw =p
EDIT: I think I just realized what you actually meant. Since you can use the wrench for its full effect sooner than you can use the mallet for its full effect, it might be better. I still disagree, due to how the goldfish's armor can break before you get a chance to repair again. Besides, the spanner is just too useful for repairing and rebuilding to pass up as main engi.
