I think this should be part of shield healing. make an engi link fix a broken trans, in case the trans in on an upper ledge where the owner can't run and get it back.

I can maybe see this skill for an eng just to make them more like engineers, but I don't see it as a real benefit. Why should an engineer risk their life to fix a player's trans when the player could pick it up themselves. Many times a broken trans will exist for majority of the map probably because it has no owner.
well its happened to me while trying to build... I threw my trans and it hit an object that destroyed it but I couldn't touch it to pick it up. this lets me fix it without killling myself. as for risking life... its mostly for if I know where it is and the only way to get there is by trans. like in a safe spot out of reach of monsters. if its out of reach of monsters, its out of reach for you too
