Summary0019967: Engies need a slight buff
DescriptionI think that engineers are a bit too underrated right now, they cannot even repair your fleet nicely. The fleet moves too fast, and the engineer also repairs too slow. I recommend a slight buff to the repair speed and movement speed of engineers. Also while I'm here, might as well suggest that the higher tier engineers might also get cloaking. Maybe even a repair range buff too, to help them repair mobile ships easier.

Thanks!

* Engineers now have about 5x as much repair speed as before, and same on construction-speed-boost.
** Additionally, the range from which they and rebuilders can do their work has increased over 5x.
** Also, both engineers and rebuilders now have about 1.5x as much move speed.
** Rebuilders are also now able to increase in mark level, like the engineers do.
** And lastly, starting at mark 3, engineers and rebuilders now gain cloaking, making them a lot more buff. The question is... is it worth that science cost to you?

I er, have a question and a point.

Do cloaked Engineers/Rebuilders lose points when doing their jobs, or are they just forever cloaked outside of a tachyon emitter?

I'd also like to note the Orchid might need a touch up on its engineering beam to compensate...

Forever cloaked outside of a tachyon emitter, by design.

And on the Orchid -- thanks!

* Fixed the Orchid Ark's assistance range being set to 0, and thus it not working at allo for assistance purposes.
** Also triple the speed at which the orchid does its repairs and whatnot, which makes it the equivalent of a mark 4 engineer now on mark 1 of the orchid.
