I haven't logged much time, but I'm starting to see a hint of the depth the guy above me talked about that's hard to explain unless you experience. I spent a great deal of time as the main Engineer on a Junker last night. After a bit of time, I found myself locked into a "cool down pattern" that I never grasped until I snapped out of my "zen state" and realized I was unconsciously doing it.... I was actually repairing and chem spraying in a certain pattern in an optimized patrol route that kept the ship repaired and running. I was hitting things in such an order that little time was wasted waiting on cooldowns.....
Those of you who have played awhile probably understand what I'm saying. But try to explain that to a new player..... they have no idea what a cooldown is half the time. They just keeping hitting things with their hammer/spanner/pipewrench. It doesn't occur to them move to something else while the cooldown is running....
