Nanotrasen Port Authority Job

Why not adapt and change a bit from other codebases? New role right under HoP: Quartermaster. Current Quartermasters would be Cargo Technicians. Quartermaster commands Cargo Technicians and Mining.

Short explanation, Engineering Department is about Station Upkeep and Cargo and Mining provide a critical role in doing so.

Long explanation,

There wouldn’t be enough to do for the departments, and the way engineering is structured would require a lot of changes in order to get anything done with a seperated mining and cargo. Think of engineering as this

Engineers are your grunts. Run the engine, make sure station isn’t full of holes and depressurised, be ignored by everyone until they are needed and it’s found out they cryoed on the RP round for that reason.

Mechanics and Miners provide specialist equipment and meterials to keep the station running/do the engineers jobs if they decided to only care about the engine.

Cargo Supplies them, and in return gets power, raw materials to sell, and money from the PLT is the hop is on top of it.

It’s a well oiled system that when a gap appears the chief engineer can take over and truely direct via leading from the front


Now let’s separate them

CE loses their Cargo and Mining Access. Better space suits, fuel, and materials are now lost because the miners just put everything in the Mining Fab. Getting materials now becomes much harder too, as cargo cannot be relied upon for resources and spare RCD ammo becomes nearly impossible to find. The well greased engine of engineering grinds to a halt due to a lack of logistics and as such the station will start to run out of power.
