Should engineers have a small health regen?
« on: May 06, 2010, 02:14:56 am »
I usually have 2 engineers in a system on FRD.  This way I know that, given enough time, everything in the system will be at full health.  I have to use 2 engineers so that they can repair each other.  When using a single engineer it may heal everything else, but it can't heal itself.  If engineers had a small self regen rate then a single engineer could keep an entire system repaired and itself as well.

Doesn't really matter, but I'm obsessive about some things I guess.  :)

If you don't ask the answer is always no.   :)

If you have the auto build node active then if the engie dies it will be automaticaly replaced. - may be a more energy efficient way to go than keeping 2 on station.

Why edit my post instead of replying normally?

Anyways, I'll be able to sleep better knowing my engie is at full health on that corner planet which hasn't seen activity for the last 8 hours.

Oh, sorry, the edit and reply buttons are quite adjacent, you see, and I, uh, wasn't functioning at full ocular efficiency ;)

The text of my reply added earlier, ah, the wrong way ;)

It wouldn't be the first request we've granted solely to please our OCD players (like me).

Since it's just a couple simple flags I've set (for 3.118, which is probably the official) engineer I, II, and IIIs to have a regen rate that would heal them from 0 to full in 3 minutes, but it only works on friendly planets in supply (like transport regen).  That shouldn't really impact balance very much, and will make it easier on us more particular types ;)
