Light replacers should fix floodlights

Post by Abbysynth » 07 Nov 2016, 17:16

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): If you use a light replacer on a floodlight it should repair it like a regular light.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): As it stands, nobody repairs floodlights because they take too long and need both goggles and a welding tool. A xeno can sit in plain sight and easily destroy it before anyone can even shoot at them. Allowing engineers to more easily fix them with their limited light replacers would help people to actually repair them instead of just surrounding the things with flares and wasting them all.

The problem with this is that light replacers are very plentiful and instantly fix lights. At least a delay could be added to be the same as the welding time.

I think this too OP though.

We've been thinking of reducing the light-fixing time.
