Rapid Fire - Left Click
NikolaiLev:
I really wish all weapons fired "full-auto" when you hold down the button, much as how tools were changed to work.
That said, there really should be no difference between holding down the button and rapidly clicking, when it comes to tools. And when I rapidly click with a weapon, occasionally I will get a "ghost fire" where it doesn't fire, but causes the weapon cooldown.
If there is a difference, it needs to be fixed in the game.
Erheller:
Yeah, there's a pretty big difference between holding down the mouse and rapidly clicking the mouse when rebuilding.
Here's a short clip I captured using FRAPS (you can play this in VLC, I have no experience with video editing so I just compressed it). The first rebuild is done by holding down left-click. The second rebuild is done by using an autoclick script.

If someone wants to do a frame-by-frame comparison or something like that, go ahead.
Erheller:
That link isn't dangerous, it's just the way the cloud redirects to a page before linking to the file. :-[
But here's a different link on Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1albvx9ebisqw74/GoI%20Autoclickies.mp4
Is this less suspicious?
Queso:
Yeah that's looking better, thanks.

To be fair there already is a click and hold function for continuous hits.

I think a lot of people don't realize this because the timing of the rebuild hits don't match up with the animations. Like, if you tap the left mouse button when rebuilding a part, it animates each swing that rebuilds the meter, but if you just hold the button it still rebuilds at the same pace but the spanner/wrench/whatever doesn't match up with the "ticks." At least, that's what it is from what I can tell.

At least for rebuilding it does *not* actually click as fast as a person. If you click and hold it clicks every x amount of milliseconds but the problem is there is no cool down for rebuild. So if you can somehow click once every millisecond you can rebuild the hull in like 10milliseconds (like when two or three engineers all rebuild a hull at the same time...no cool down).
I accidentally let our ship die yesterday experimenting with this. "Wow, this rebuild seems slower... oh my god it definitely is! HURRY HURRY HURR- BOOM" hahaha

Clicking rapidly rebuilds things faster than click-and-holding, but it by no means rebuilds as fast as you can click. If it could, my ships would never die, ya know, since I can click 12 times per second. There's a small cooldown, a little less than a second, before the next tool swing registers.
