Someone needs to start an “Engineers don’t just heal” campaign and bug the devs about it.
So, I like these:
EM dissolvers 9
- EM weapon
- when it hits an ally releases nanodrones restoring the ally’s hull by 250 pts. when an enemy is critically hit the host’s damage resistance increases by 25 pts for 10 s. projectile speed grows with uninterrupted fire.
- Like: an eclipse launcher alternative
Repair projector 9
- active module
- forms a cone with 350 m base. allies in the cone have their hulls restored by 1520 pts/s
- Like: a Brokkish hull heal beam
Pendulum module 11
- active module
- two-mode module. press the activation key to switch modes. always active.
- a) defence mode:
- increase hull defence for the host and the nearest ally in range by 20 pts (default)
- b) offence mode:
- increase crit hit chance for the host and the nearest ally in range by 12% in range.
- Like: two mode is interesting because makes you feel you have control over situation, offensive/defensive switch
Energy-compensating projectile 10
- active module
- launches a grenade. detonation creates a 750 m area for 10 s where allies restore shields at 630 pts/s and enenies have their shield and hull regeneration speed reduced by 90%.
- Like: interesting for tactical play: say at beacons in pvp, or at selected pve locations etc.
Med evac 12
- active module
- jumps to an ally marked as target but no further than 5000 m. while the ally is in module’s range its hull is restored at xy pts/s.
- Like: interesting for tactical play: jump module is better than warp gate - makes engi stick to group
What I miss:
Twins barrier 9
- active module
- the host and an ally marked as target become invulnerable for 2.5 s and restore 5936 hull pts if their durability goes below 5 % while the effect is active. only works if an ally is marked as target
- missed: hull restored must scale with ship size, so lara for interceptors, very insufficient for frigates and destroyers - factor of *2 for frigates, *5 for dessys
Nano devourers 12
- active module
- upon hitting the target nanobots start devouring 134 hull per s. then they restore the hull of the closest ally in 500 m range by 3250 pts.
- Miss: what is the range??
Meteor accelerator module 13
- hull modifier
- at speed above max your hull receives 50 thermal damage resistance pts. at max energy reserve critical hit chance increases by 12%.
- Miss:
Dual shields 8
- shield modifier
- the shields of your ships and the clostest ally in 750m range regenerate at 161 pts/s.
- Miss: shield regeneration must sclale with ship size!!! range of 750m is too low=> 1250m
Mass drone boost 10
- CPU modifier
- all ally drones in 1000m have their damage increased by 30% and hull repaired at 150 pts/s.
- Miss: should be accessible for Ellydium engineers; should have rank 17 version
Echidna processor 12
- CPU modifier
- speed threshhold 5%
- when speed is below the threshold active engineering module range increased by 20%.
- Miss: probably useless due to better cpu modifiers and scarcity of cpu slots in engineers;
- Make it: weapon range increase too + spread reduction, too!!!
