Give engineers a crummy way to plug up hull breaches.

[Paineframe]

Even when someone DOES repair the damage, people ignore it anyway, call the shuttle, and never come back to use the repaired department. It's just easier to call the shuttle than it is to wait a few minutes for the engineers (or even borgs) to fix anything properly. I rarely bother to fix anything bigger than a small hull breach anymore, because no one cares, so why bother? I can't count the number of big repair jobs where, while I and others busily rebuilt half a department or relaid a section of hall, someone else decided a better way to cope with the damage was just to call the shuttle. Making metal foam grenades more readily available would certainly help (might as well just add them to the QM list; emergency crates could use something to make them worth ordering), but in the end I've found that repairing is something to be done purely for personal satisfaction, for the sheer zen of building, because no one else is ever going to notice or care.
