Spam Lockpick? Come on, cooldowns makes sense for First Aid or Doctor or Steal, but not for Lockpick... Especially when you can level an alt for that.
Edit: also, in the original games, if you spammed Lockpick with a low skilled character, there was a chance to jam the lock. Not sure if it works like that in 2238 as well. Imho lock jamming should be there if it isn't, and a jammed lock should only be possible to repair by a character with high lockpick (100+ maybe). That way spamming skill with a low-LP guy wouldn't be attractive, and at the same time a LPer alt wouldn't have to wait those 2 minutes.
