But yeah, that's one of the many cons to this idea. With the only pro I've seen so far being "it would give engineers more to do". Which this isn't really a good solution too, either. Like it's just pinning something that already exists onto engineer, instead of giving them their own things to do. The real problem is probably that Goonstation has very simplistic engineering, this would be a highly indirect solution to that that would cause 15 more problems.
That all happens already, most of the time its a pissy staff assistant or dead robot that fixes holes in things while all of engineering is off staring at a laser.
I think this is less of giving engineering more things to do, and more giving mechanics *useful* things to do. Mechanics have loads of things they can do, but for the most part they're just creative ways to get the crew to murder them. This'd give mechanics something useful to do when they don't feel like pissing off the crew.
