Possible engii idea

[Wolfsbane.]

Yaknow how the protector only protects one ship? what if when you protect someone else, the protector also protects you? so two sheilds instead of one.
OR if when you hit the protector it sheilds everyone in your squad/clan/both if they are in range.
OR if the multi protector could be a 9th slot if one was added.
just a few thoughts...

Ok protechtor is FINE as is, its anti-DS when doing story missions, what I'd like to see is making engineer and stun better harvie/cryo hunters.

i would like the repair field to rep yourself, too.

That would make the engineer overpowered

Its not like theyre the strongest ships anyway, an extra type of repair would make the engii more level with the other ships.

Yeah. its strange that you can rep others, but not youself with the repfield.

@Tyrannus
the engineer would be a more-equal ship to the others. I saw a nice list about the items, which aren't useful. I don't know where it's standing, so i post it out of my head here:

Not useful items of the ships:

Storm: Perforator, IF not against Engi or Tank
Tank: Taunt, UNLESS you want to keep the enemy on the planet
Engineer: Repair Target; Materializer; Repair Field
Shock: Aggrobeacon; Stun, IF against Engineer with shield
Sniper: none, if not "Little Dog" because of weakness;

You see, the engineer is the weakest. The others have one or none item without "If" or "Unless". So a rep field, which rep's yourself, would be good, because it also reps your enemy ^^. Or am i wrong with the last sentence? If yes, it would be even more equal, otherwise the others would still have a major advantage in PvP, the engineer would be better in normal fights against mantis.

The repair target, materializer and repair field are not 'not useful' items, they are items to be used on other ships; such is the point of the engineer. It is not a big mean mad mantis eating machine, it is a support ship, it supports other ships.... Why is this so hard for people to understand?

Because its unnatural that you cant rep yourself with the repfield. If all other ships have tech instaled that let them be rep by a repfield, its strange that the engi dont have the same.

 

[DeathsBeast]

Unnatural, definitely wrong choice of words... -_- It has nothing to do with some 'tech'. Have you ever required some 'gene' is any fantasy rpg where you play as a cleric to be healed? >_>

*coughs* on topic perhaps? I do agree that engii repair feild should also repair the engii itself. ive flown engiis a lot, and ive found that their hit points tend to vanish way too quickly when fighting, so if the repair feild also repaired the engii, then it would be far more level with the rest of the ship classes.
I know that if the engii was in a squad with a bunch of storms or tanks or whatever it will be protected quite well but if it gets a couple of good hits from a mantis it will be in trouble, so i think the repair feild repairing engii will be a good idea

 

[CommanderCody]

Ok, the repair field is repair everything around you by using your ship to produce those waves, thus logically it should NOT be able to repair itself that way. I'd go for repair target reping itself but not rep field.

 

[ridoi]

One thing to say engi is the last pvp ship you would pvp with the same rank ship
Make the engi so it can repair it self with repair field would not be overpowered cus it will not repair so much you guys do something to it something?

 

[Ahsoka]

i would say give it a long-ranged weapon since it's primary role is for support and a long-ranged secondary weapon wouldn't hurt, a bit like a Rail Gun and Gauss Cannon, something on those lines anyway

 

[SpaceAdmiral]

this game is unique
most/all games the healing or support class could heal itself
and have you seen how slow rep field is? it wont make too much a difference so im all for making rep field rep the engi.

Give them something that does damage to Mantis, but not to players that are buddies, say like it damages and slows down the mantis a little bit, and to players it just heals them over time, where as a rep droid will heal all in one go, this would heal for like 3 seconds, stop, wait 5 seconds, heal again for 3 seconds, until the item runs out. The item would only be found as a rare BP, and it doesnt have an extra 9th slot on engi, but if you go on the Item Shop and look at Rep Field, at the top will be the 2 gold print slots, so either install the rep fields normally, or this rare item.

the eng is week, it's main strength is that everyone want to have an eng in their party when going to dangerous places. letting the repair feild heal the eng would make it alot better solo

 

[CommanderCody]

why not simply use repair target? That sound much more resistic to me cuss repair field is sending repair beams away from your ship.

Btw a larger repair area for the rep field would be nice, currently its soo small hardly anyone can fit under it to get its benfites

 

[SpaceAdmiral]

repair field is used because probably alot of people will complain that engis get repair target (basically a rep droid with 1/3 the cool down). Rep field heals slower and thus people will be more willing to accept this idea. Even with just rep field heals the engi some people are getting alarmed, if rep target could be used on self many would get alarmed.

 

[Galactic]

lol if repair field could repair the engie then it has a great chance of beating stunner, storm and tank since repair field cool down is not long plus it has a repair droid and a repair field
