Let's make the station more maintenance intensive!

[DyssalC]

For the love of god

do not give engineers more things that need to be set up or maintained.

Half the time the engine is never even set up, nor the solars by anyone but the AI.

GIVE THEM THINGS THAT ONLY HAVE GOOD EFFECTS IF SET UP AND NO EFFECTS IF THEY AREN'T!!!

That's really stupid. Please give an actual reason that hasn't already been countered. Making big text doesn't make your argument any less shit, fuck off with that. Make a real, educated argument to not have this implemented.

The engine has already been explained by multiple people as a bad example. Even then using an example is a weak argument, especially when it can easily be countered by the fact that people fix bomb breaches all the time.

Pointless busy work? You're right, they already have so much to do. Set the engine up, fix the station... oh wait, no, that's two things, and the first one isn't even a big necessity with solars, so arguably the girth of engineering is fixing the station. So what's fixing the station getting in the way of? Fixing the station? Real good job, 10/10 point.

So your last sentence seems to imply you'd rather have something implemented for engineering where you can give the station special boosts for setting something up or whatever. Guess what? This thread isn't about that. This idea coming into existence wouldn't consume those ideas or remove the from the realm of possibility. If you want one of those ideas to happen, go support one instead of trying to shit up this one.
