I'm not going to tell him I probably looked pretty decent because it was our team ship that was constantly under attack and all I had to do was hammer our hull to look busy :D
:P
But he's a nice person!

Actually, Phoebe, we were taking some pretty substantial damage there, and you kept it going. The only times you let us down were when we went into 2v1s (but nobody can really handle a 2v1). If you can keep a ship going like that now, then you'll be an awesome engineer in the future.

Well one thing I figured out on my own which might have been useful is that when you use a spanner to rebuild the hull;- you can actually play with your hotkeys to reset the swing timer on the spanner;- thus enabling you to rebuild the hull faster
In my case I'm using a Spanner on hotkey 1 and a Mallet on hotkey 2; and I just do a really fast sequence of : 1, M1, 2, 1, M1, 2, 1, M1 (Which in words would be : Select spanner; click hull to rebuild; select mallet; select spanner again; click hull to rebuild; repeat)
This is probably nothing new and all the vets probably use it but I figured it out all on my own and I was proud of that

Wait, what??? I have to try that! I have never seen anybody doing that O_o
Phoebe:
Oh I figured it was pretty well known as I found it pretty easy and thought it was kind of neat. That's why you saw me standing at the hull just switching my tools rapidly eventhough the hull was up in like 2 seconds

Sounds like a bug more than a vet trick, lol. Now i need to try that...
