Engine Bonuses

[BeardedElectron]

The problem isn't that people find the engine hard to set up, or at least, that isn't the MAIN problem here. The MAIN problem is that there is literally no point to setting up the engine aside from figuring out how to do it, setting up a hellburn to throw people in, telescience expeditions (which most people just get around by stuffing supercharged power cells in the APC), or insurance in case someone decides to snip the solars which almost never happens. In almost all rounds, there is absolutely no major reason to do it whatsoever except just for the hell of it or to give yourself something to do that round.

I must be a minority because I spent 12 hours trying to get the engine to run properly, the wiki example didn't work and people trying to explain it to me were speaking in an alien language. Now though I start it every round or even go to great lengths to fix it. I have it down to a science. I don't need an incentive, my incentive is doing it because nobody else does <part of your problem here, some don't realize that the teleporter was changed even and try to use telesci anyway meeting failure.
