Give engineers a crummy way to plug up hull breaches.

[Armchair]

But when meteors strike the station the shuttle is almost always called due to things going to absolute shit and the lag atmospherics causes in the process, there are other similar scenarios too, like when the station's been bombed to a crisp in twenty places and everything is absolutely fucked to the point where you can't go down the hall as a new arrival without nearly dying from decompression in the process.

Last time I checked, those are all extremely good reasons to call the shuttle. I would go so far as to say that if the shuttle isn't called in such a scenario, I would start wondering if the AI and heads of staff are still alive.

Suffocating to death after stepping off of the emergency shuttle is annoying though. If only more players had access to a ready set of internals. Perhaps we could put the internals kit within a box and put that box within a backpack....



I'm all for engineering getting more toys though. I do think it is odd that you gripe about engineering slacking off when that division consistently does more work for the station than most jobs combined.
