So I just unlocked nanosubverters

But think of the angst of an engineer without a control node!

he need not but look to me for guidance, and I shall give unto him the guidance he deserves.

Also, pretty pretty please can it build modules?

While convenient, it would make it mandatory for the Home player to ALWAYS gift an engineer to the Champion player, thus invalidating the drawback of being able to repair on the field.

You cant give units to championonly players at all - If anything, it allows for a little bit of autonomy at the great cost of being able to capture and engineer. It took me over an hour of completely ignoring my team (who were busy doing spirethings) to get an engineer.

Additionally, ion cannons are still really annoying for engineers..

Alternatively, I could point out that in a multiplayer game, it would be more feasible to have one of the heros in a neinzul ship for the repair field.

Ah, of course. I forgot you can't give units to Champion players. My derp!

But they can nanosubvert their own fleet
