Give the CE a sledgehammer (also aurora belt buff I guess)

[Lady Birb]

The CE needs a weapon because more often than not a CE's job consists of setting up the engine and maybe the solars and then either sitting in engineering the entire round maintaining the engine, filling in for nonexistant miners or quartermasters (which also rarely leave their deparment to interact with others) or being a staff assistant with extra access, because there isn't much else they can do. Giving them a way to fight that can't also be obtained by any idiot with a full toolbelt would let them participate in the round more actively by fighting antagonists or beating up crimers. Others may think otherwise, but to me the most fun part of this game will always be combat.
