1.3.3 ENGINEER AND REPAIR TOOL BALANCE

[The Djinn]

The buffs to the cooldown time and duration are fine and should remain, but it really, really needs to have a cooldown when used on a damaged component.

I'd agree...potentially. I'm not sure it needs the full 3 second cooldown on a damaged component.

That being said, I haven't played with it enough to really have an opinion on the balance of it yet. I know that it's something I'd definitely want on my ship now though, which is a definite upgrade from my previous stance of "is the entire enemy team running flamethrowers? If not, probably no."

It's even scarier in practice than in theory, honestly. Chem spray should be able to protect a component for a decent part of the engagement, not grant effectively eternal fire immunity.

The cooldown's only three seconds, it's not enough to make a complete mess of things if you get it on a damaged component, but it's enough to prevent eternal chemming.
