Engineering

Category:Jobs

Overview
Engineering, the static charged heart of the station. Here you can generate Power (and Space Coin), a critical resource for making everything from Vodka to Mechanized Assault Exosuits. Power is in fact such a uniquely important resource, that the only way to get it out of your Inventory is to use it, as it cannot be sold. Expect to use more Power than anything else during your time on the station.

A wide variety of items can be electrified, exploded or otherwise combusted for larger amounts of Power than an engineer could work out of a treadmill (sometimes at a net energy gain!), and there are shady rumours floating around the station about more... morally flexible 'work' going on in Engineering.

Hope you're feeling energetic.
