Pilot tool: Rebuild signal

(1/3) > >>

MidnightWonko:
Looks kinda like a radio.  While active, all destroyed components rebuild at a rate of...Iono, like maybe 1/sec.

Pro: useful when multiple components are destroyed.
Cons: does nothing for simply damaged components.  Must remain actively selected to work (thus making it pretty much unusable synchronously with a repair tool).  Occupies a slot that could be taken by a mobility pilot tool (pilot) or a spyglass (engie or gunner).  Does not stack with other Rebuild Signals on the same crew.  Slower rebuild than any engie tool on a single component.

Schwalbe:
Interesting idea. But I guess the cons section might be too small to be balanced.

I mean...
Imagine the squid.
Drop squids armor.
PUFF. It's damn up again.
NO THANKS.

"Slower rebuild speed than any engi tool"

Imagine malleting a squids hull. That downside is waaaay too harsh, Id rather take chute vent than this tool

Kamoba:
Engineers would never take spyglass again because this tool would make them very over - powered, even if this tool had a downside, it completely removes the point of disable weapons entirely and I cant see any down side which would make this tool balanced, even if the effect was very minor...

Need things rebuilt faster? Get your gungineer on repairs on vital components. :)

I imagine it would need some tweaking, but with how big of a deal tactical awareness is, it would be redundant for both engies to use this item.  It would also be anywhere from crazy hard to frickin' impossible to use this while simultaneously repairing, rebuilding, buffing, or fighting.  It would also be COMPLETELY impossible to use while gunning.

Anyhoo, we're all here to bat around ideas, right?  What do you guys think could make this a viable pilot tool?  ...or other tool...?
