More use of the "use pilot tool" function
MagKel:
Every time I used the scroll wheel, I ended up standing in front of a broken component with the spyglass in my hand.

Frankly, its faster the way it is now. You just need 1 step to activate while Tar needs 2 steps. Changing the game just to make lazy people feel better about being able to play the game with one hand on a mouse and the other in their pants is not a solid reason to mess up the game for players who put the time and effort into learn.

in any case mainly asking for this because... the hells the point of being on the keyboard if I'm holding the controller? (plus dem keyboard cramps)
aaaand when I switch tools I don't want to be doing a tiny bit of balloon dmg every time I want to kero or use a bit of kero b4 I use claw.
Its just so inefficient. Besides the point is kinda moot with speed as any decent pilot can anticipate when they'll be needing to use the tool.
PLUS
Any engie can switch tools quickly and use the clicky button to use them. I myself cycle rapidly between tools with muscle memory in my tool placements. MUCH faster than keyboard number keys.
to imply you yourself are not fast enough to do a 2 step action, doesn't imply everyone is just as slow as you. In a fighting game I could probably do a special move faster than you would find the punch button.
Koali:
You could do a special move before I could find a punch button?
So could I, it's the facejab-facejab-runaway combo.
Dementio:
I guess Muse could implement the thing where when you scroll through pilot tools you have to activate them through a seperate button and when you use number keys it activates instantly. Having that "use pilot tool" function only on some pilot tools and on some not would make no sense to the casual player. But having Muse do anything in that field of usability may not happen too soon anyway.

Now I don't want to continue the semi-off-topic discussion of "number keys vs mouse wheel scrolling", but I am pretty comfortable with pressing the number keys in a rather quick succession, also as an engineer. Mainly, because my mouse wheel does not like me and in any other game I used the keyboard more than my mouse wheel so I continued using this "skill" even in Guns of Icarus.

It would also mean pilots would not burn through the engines or balloon during a frenetic fight or because of unexpected mouse scrolling.
