If so, I don't think I've been in a round where this hasn't been suggested by someone on the station, normally when the engine isn't producing enough that fast.Are you sure they were talking about the engine? The only reason to hotwire the engine, ever, is to make the APCs shoot lightning - it provides no other advantage, so there's no reason for a non-traitor to do it. It's a solely destructive action, so only traitors should be doing it.
Hotwiring the solar panels, on the other hand, is the best possible setup for them. It's impossible to cause any damage with it, since the solars never produce enough power to damage anything, so it's solely a good thing whose only downside is that it's kind of a pain in the ass to actually do.
