Pilot tool: Rebuild signal

<< < (2/3) > >>

Crafeksterty:
If it is a HELM tool then maybe.
Also if the rebuild strength is weaker than wrench or is the wrench, then its more viable.


Because if it is a helm tool, then only one can use it, which is the pilot... and he sacrifices 1 pilot tool to help on rebuild.
But ide also suggest it takes 60% of engine power away just to make them easier to hit if use in combat.
That way, pilots would use the tool during a complete brake down.

Hoja Lateralus:
Very risky to implement, pain in the ass to balance, will change nothing. So it's 3 times no.

Sammy B. T.:
Would definitely need to be a helm tool and also some con along with it which is a bit hard to suggest because most cons wouldn't effect you. Oh no, I've lost speed while my engines are down.

Maybe if you were mot susceptible to fire or if the hp regained when rebuilt by this method was lower than if naturally repaired.

Its a very fascinating idea.

The unobvious con is that this tool would occupy a slot that would normally be taken up by another tool like Phoenix Claw or Kerosene.  Beyond that, though, I think also reducing mobility somehow isn't a bad idea, as there would otherwise be no reason to turn it off when a different pilot tool is not needed.

I don't see why it would have to be only useable on the helm, though; any engie or gunner who takes it is not taking a Spyglass.  A crew that is able to coordinate so that at least one crewmember has a Spyglass while the others have other pilot tools to compliment the rest of the ship, in my opinion, deserves the benefits of their teamwork.

Schwalbe:
Yes, but more than one person may take it, and used approprietaly, might render the ship invulnerable. Almost, but, well, at least much harder to kill. Even with mobility penalty.
