So, there are some individuals who believe mallet in first slot and spanner in second is correct order, but what they don't know is that they are WRONG! Because spanner-mallet-chem/ext/buff is the way to go! I'm glad you agree, thank you! :P
EDIT: WRONG FORUM :(
-
We proved to you yesterday that mallet-spanner was indeed correct, now you run to the forums to gather new followers after we defeated your last band of mad men?!?! HA, MALLET SPANNER MASTER RACE!!!
-
Spanner, mallet [insert third tool up behind of any who argue.]
XD
-
More like, SPAMNER
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
mallet spanner.
-
mallet spanner.
Pfft crazy gunner, you know nothing outside of lumberjack arcs and pipe wrench! ;)
-
Wait, wait, wait... Me and Ayetach were talking private message about a spanner-mallet, mallet-spanner poll thread. How did it get out?
I call forum espionage! XD
-
My argument is that 1 feels like a stronger word andwhen you pull the mallet out with it you feel like its actually doing work
Whereas 2 feels like a flimsy number and looks a bit like spanner
Whenever I have a spanner at 1 it feels like Im holding out a gigantic pinkie finger which, despite being gigantic, is still a weak finger.
Also chemspray on 1 masterrace

I generally don't intervene in the forum, but I simply cannot let such a blatant lie pass.
Mallet/Spanner is the only logical choice, and here is why:
- Authoritative argument: Muse, in their infinite wisdom, identified their original mistake. They quickly proceeded to present the mighty Mallet/Spanner as the best and most efficient tool order to all future players and AI alike.
- Historical accuracy: in a game about giant battles between airships with piercing-weapon-proof balloons, realism is obviously a serious matter! And it is common knowledge that Mallet should always be placed to the left of the Spanner on any self-respecting tool rack, silhouetted or not. Borderline common sense.

- Gameplay argument: when you want to hit big, you call in the Mallet. There is no finesse to it, you smash any up-left key with all your might! Ain't nobody got time for this, you don't want to end up as raspberry! The (1) key is the perfect panic button, suiting the Mallet's role neatly.
It's the same reason as why you place your fire-fighting tool in slot (3): you absolutely need to quickly grab something that does not repair! So you go as far as possible from any repairing tool! Hitting the upright of those three keys.
Spanner on the other hand is a more refined tool, relying on calculated hits at key locations, on small changes with comparatively big effect. Here is why having Spanner on (2) suits this more; you need to be careful about which one of the three keys you hit. You need precision. The (2) key, being stuck between (1) and (3) is obviously perfect for that. Precise key press, for precise repair duty.
- Rhyme-as-reason effect: Mallet/Spanner makes you stronger!
- Subliminal stimuli: Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and later proceeded to use Spanner/Mallet. FML.
If after all this you are still not convinced of the rightness of Mallet/Spanner, I cannot help you.

bring 3 pilot tools or get back to your schools

Sorry I just thought of that brilliant revision.

Speaking as a community ambassador and for the community, I can say the the only true way to live is spanner/mallet, and Muse actively frowns upon all mallet/spanner users. This is $100% true
-
Speaking as a more powerful CA i can say mallet spanner is the way.
-
speaking as someone who was the clanleader of alistair macbain and his lover.
spanner mallet is the way
-
I do mallet spanner but I think spanner mallet is the way to go. I do it out of habit. Chem mallet spanner, buff mallet spanner, buff wrench chem.

Is it even worth... Caring about?

I can't think of a more important, divisive and controversial issue in this game!

Maybe not for people without a sense of humour?

Do you bring lucky lochnagar, the most important pilot tool?
-
Can we just get a poll on spanner-mallet, mallet-spanner, and others?
-
90% would vote chem-buff-pipe

Oh my! Screw heartsink, I forgot the most valuable! :)

Nope Mallet-Spanner is the way to go. It's alphabetical and Having the mallet 1st means that you Won't let any main part break like True Engineer. And if it does break you are ready to rebuild with your spanner on the second slot!!!
-
It's kinda cute watching the spanner/mallet and mallet/spanner peasants arguing.
Mallet/Chem/Spanner ftw \o/

We don't talk about your kind here.

Mallet-Spanner. Mallet-Spanner.Mallet-Spanner!

MALLET-SPANNER <3

Wow guys, the solution is simple youre all right :D
IT IS: Mallet, Spanner OR Spanner, Mallet
It simply depends on the fight you're preparing for and your personal interests.
I am (as CA and Mad Hatter) mostly using mallet, spanner but when I'm preparing to fight against a lot of disableing, I use spanner, mallet.

This is way too simple AND with this system everybody wins.
Unacceptable!

This thread really needs to be moved to an appropriate forum.
And it's spanner-mallet.
-
And on the third day, they stopped resting, and peace was restored.
This past SCS we saw something I'm sure we can all agree on. Spanner-buff-mallet is wrong. :(

Not even once did the bad guys ever win.
They either get banished, destroyed or sealed away. Only Equestria won in this disgustingly boring fairy tale ending.

I've been playing with chem/spanner/mallet.
Let me tell you- it's impossible. I'm gonna stick at it so i can make everyone angry. 8)

In the original at one point everyone basically started chanting about killing these two fillies.
So that's more exciting I guess.

Spanner-Mallet-Extinguish

Eh. This isn't abortion, people. It's ok to say "My loadout, my choice." Unless the captain says otherwise.

and we are pro spanner-first, just like the Bible says. Do not challenge what the bible says

Pffkt, this is getting amusing. Let's link this argument to more modern controversial issues!
YOU CAN'T "FIX" ME FROM BEING A WRENCH-CARRYING GUNNER!!! JUST BECAUSE I WASN'T BORN AN ENGINEER DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING!!!

this is a serious conversation, pipe wrenchers smacking around are not to be considered. If we do, next thing is scientologists trying to prove we are souls trapped in a volcano by ancient aliens

ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME FOR CARRYING A WRENCH?!
;)

I carry spanner in first slot. I can fix whatever the hell I want. Just try to stop me, that is what the second slot mallet is for.

OOOHHHHH, DON'T YOU START ON ME TOO!!!
*Opens mouth to reveal a Hwacha.*
You wanna know where this Hwacha came from? You can check out my RP Tavern, drinks are pretty much free! #shamelessadvertising

Manner Spallet
Mallet Spanner Spanner Mallet
Manner is for people who use the number keys.
Spallet is for people who use the scrollwheel.
Manner is best
-
What are you people on about? Mallet (kerosene) is front side mouse button, spanner (Phoenix claw) is back side mouse button. Your third goes on left control. Throttle is scroll wheel, and the numbers are too far away for a busy pilot's fingers so nothing goes there.
-
I don't know what this mallet spanner debate is.
Obviously the One True Loadout is Hydro, Claw, Moonshine. :P
(but when i do engie I'm a Mallet in 1, spanner in 2 type of engie)

No, No, No
Throttle up is front left mosue button
throttle down is back left mouse button
stamina is front right mouse button
map is back right mouse button
numbers are for tools
scroll wheel disabled

Good luck activating Phoenix claw while diving and turning and trying to talk to your crew. There's just not enough fingers to do everything!
-
I actuakly do it all the time and phoenix claw stays on because i dont have a gaming keyboard. All the button presses dont register
Very annoying.
Gonna be too difficult to change habits now.

As a Moderator with about 2500 hours in this game.
The correct loadout is Range-Finder, Pipewrench, Chemspray.
To defeat the enemy, you must know their proximity to your guns.

By the way, not trying to be creepy or anything, but I think I've found you on facebook, Mann. In case you were wondering who the hell that guy with weird profile picture with even weirder name who invited you is.
Unless you know and ignored it on purpose. Or it's not you. No idea.
-

Aye, I did get a random request on facebook a couple of weeks ago but I didn't know who it was. I use facebook mainly for messenger with my family and rarely use it aside from the occasional post which I'm tagged (I'm guessing you found me through the GOIO facebook :P , that tag wasn't supposed to happen)...
If you wish though, feel free to add me on Steam, You can find me under Mr.D's friendlist. :)
I'm much more active on Steam than Facebook
-
Yeah, fair enough. Maybe better, cause by default, my entries on facebook (if it's not the music I share) are in Polish, so what good that would be for you. ^^
Will try to find. Nickname's on steam is different, but still follows the key of being a bird.
I kind of imagined you differently. Weird.

Close, it's Space (neutral/chem/buff), MouseButton1, MB2, Q (hydro/spyglass). Alt is jump
Numbers are F1 F2 F3 etc.
That's without AutoHotKey (https://autohotkey.com/)...

If you're having trouble mapping throttle to the mouse wheel, here's a simple option using AHK:
WheelUp::
send {R} ;throttle up key
return
wheeldown::
send {F} ;throttle down
return
