This makes it a desireable niche pick for any kind of job that can see themself wanting to take a breaching to a room's entrance! For example, paramedics, shaft miners, and security can all make use of it on occasion. 2. **Mech Repair Speed**: This one is aimed specifically at Machinists. Repairing mechs with a welder is no longer instantaneous (That was very powergamey in practice for 'battle machinists'). Instead it has a repair speed (and repair amount) that scales with your Mechanical Engineering skill. Why MechE and not Robotics? To encourage further "Machinist Specialization". Machinist players were already pretty naturally inclined to position their character as either being a Robotics Specialist, or a Mechatronics Specialist, by sheer virtue of there being two machinist slots and two noticeably distinctive roles. This separation of skill interactions is there to further encourage this degree of separation between machinist skillsets. As a side note, just so I'm not thoroughly pissing off every machinist main. As a quality of life improvement, I've made it so that attempting to repair a mech with a welder will loop the repair until completed or interrupted. --------- Signed-off-by: VMSolidus <evilexecutive@gmail.com>
