1.3.3 ENGINEER AND REPAIR TOOL BALANCE

--- Quote from: dragonmere on October 29, 2013, 12:26:45 pm ---The main problem I have with the chem spray is the fact that it gets 0 cooldown if the part is fully repaired and not on fire, but the full cooldown if the part has even slight damage but still isn't on fire yet. Same with the extinguisher, but it's not supposed to be used BEFORE getting set on fire, so it's not a big deal.
You can't be coming close to an enemy ship that has a flamethrower, and suddenly decide you're gonna spray the entire ship real quick. If there's any sort of damage on and being done to the hull, that cooldown can be deadly. Same if the captain is using an engine damaging tool to get close to the flame ship. Spraying the engines means you've got that cooldown before they can get repaired again, and with moonshine on, thats a big deal.
Is it at all possible to make chem spray only initiate a cooldown if it's actively putting out fire? That would simplify the use of the tool down from "Pre-spray a part if you think you're going to be engaging an enemy that has fire weapons within the next 20 seconds and the part in question is not going to be taking damage over the next 6 seconds or is currently entirely repaired" to "pre-spray a part if you think it's gonna get set on fire soon". I might like it then.

A bit late pulling this up, but I think this is an important point to consider when it comes to the cooling down. No cooldown if there's no fire -- or a short cooldown after EVERY spray regardless of component health or fire status (to keep it consistent and intuitive) -- coupled with increased fire protection duration (perhaps 30 seconds?) could help a lot.

I've made some adjustments for Chem Spray on dev app. More details on dev app forum board.

For those of us new to the Dev App: where or how can we find this board? Or is it somewhere obvious and am I just being oblivious?
Alistair MacBain:
