Well, it does burn engines quite a bit if you leave it on, buffing all ships to turn like they do with Phoenix wouldn't exactly burn their engines for it, but you do, undeniably, have a point with that argument, I'm all for faster ship battles.

Thats kind of like saying, "why is greased ammo used so much?" or "why do engineers like to use the mallet so much?".

Pilot tools imo SHOULD be something that is constantly being used in an engagement, and proper use of them separates the great pilots from the good ones.

If we want ships to be using "vanilla" stats 90% of the time, why don't we have engie pilots more often? Why even have the pilot role? All engie ships from now on!

Greased ammo and mallet have their disadvantages. Claw does not.

Claw has a disadvantage simply taking up a slot.

I don't mean to say it isn't powerful, or perhaps even THE most powerful, but there are plenty of other viable tools to fill that slot.

Queso:
But few other tools of any class completely negates one of the intended weaknesses of a given ship.
