The suggestions aren't encouraging hellburns, though. I mean, having the SMES blow up and lightning shoot all over the station is clearly a Bad Thing, and all because you wanted to do your job really well. This isn't rewarding hellburns, it's rewarding people for never touching the engine at all. Basically in between the power drain machine and the exploding SMES, engineers would have to play a delicate balancing act with the engine just to keep the station powered adequately, and when most engineers are too lazy to even hook up a couple plasma canisters and shove some char ore in the furnaces there's no way anyone's going to bother.
