But why? I can understand lightning fast climbs in previous games, since it afforded you to spend more time on other actions right up until the end of the match. That's far less important in 2017. There's no such thing as "buzzer beaters" in 2017. Fuel takes 1-2 seconds to process at the very least (and can get backed up due to the limited processing rate). Gears are even worse, as the gears aren't actually what's being scored, rotors is. You have to allow time to place the gear on the lift, raise the lift, take the gear off the lift, place the gear on the airship, and spin the crank 3 times. That's going to take a few seconds at the very least. There's really very little advantage to being able to climb in <3 seconds.

I simply don't see the need to throw 800-1000W of power at your climber.
