Use for excess power on Nadir

[Dhaidburt]

I agree, Nadir is the place to go absolutely W I L D with the nuclear engine with that harmonic siphon, but with no payout it's just bragging rights. With that in mind though, I think it should benefit both science and engineering somehow

Letting the Harmonic Siphon be sped up or higher quantities with extra power sounds nice enough, but that feels more like benefiting engineering more since they can sell the ores or make something out of them vs science who just make a few things and move on. If you're a scientist just to make a boatload of ores from the siphon though, that's a fantastic solution

Though, why not overcharge or remove the limiters of the harmonic siphon to have it draw in things you normally couldn't like alloys or artifacts? More power is naturally drawn, and engineering would need to be more on-hand for repairs for obvious reasons. You'd need command approval to overcharge or remove the limiters so selfish scientists don't drain the station's power
