making the engineers start the engine

[Katznelson]

bring back the singularity

Fuck off forever.

The problem with the Engineering job is that they have no incentive to do their actual job; They have insulated gloves and tools so they can get whatever they want on the station, and everyone seems indifferent to Engineers ignoring their whereas in Shroom station Engineers would be hunted down and killed.

If the Engine is not started in fifteen minutes, how about have centcom announce that Engineers are free to be killed? That would give them a pretty big incentive to do their job.

One way is to have certain critical aspects of the station such as Medical Bay, Genetics, and chemistry loose power first when the engine is not set up within a certain time period. Then its blackouts that happen quickly.

That should be incentive enough.
