I had a dream... about a shovel...

If you were to make it an oil can, you could give any oiled components a higher chance of catching fire. Not sure how a shovel makes much sense, even with the level of hitting things with a hammer fixing Guns currently has.

Its a reference to an old joke where if you smack something that was broken it fixes itself.
Like old crt days when the tubes misalign and you had to wack the tv set to put them back in place without having to actually take apart the tv set and realign them yourself.

What if Shovel was a weak fire tool in addition to cool down remover? Like removes 3 stacks of fire but without the fire proofing of chem spray. A main engineer could take shovel to augment his armor tanking abilities and still put out minor fires from explosive weapons.

If theres an emote that comes with it for whacking powder monkeys then I'm all for it.

I remember once writing outloud of some way of cooldown reducing acts/tools. Mainly they revolved around using wrench, mallet and spanner at different time. Like, first you hit with mallet to reduce the repair CD a bit, then you hit it other two tools.. ANd so forth. But naah.
But how about a welding torch or somekind? You hold down the whacking button and you begin welding on the component, slowly reducing the repair CD. So, in its downside of faster repairing, it'd tie up an engi and prevent from the usual routes, but the CD reduction probably has to be good enough to warrant such a case.
Perhaps even other people can't interact with a component during welding?
That welding tool could be expanded to non-CD triggering repair/rebuild tool that is outmatched by the "specialized" tools, but can be used for topping up component health from minor damage or make it more suspectible on catching fire when shot at with fire stuff?
Richard LeMoon:
I think a welding torch would be a great tool for repairing permahull. In fact, I think I'll post that in a new thread.
