Okay.
What is the issue that needs resolving?
The fact that engineers either have nothing to fix half the time and this weakens the perceived role of the engineer, resulting in stuff not getting fixed by engineers even when it needs fixing.
How to resolve?
Random equipment etc failing around station to create work for engineers?( this is what is being suggested)
This wouldn't work and would be frustrating. Not a fun way to use rng. Not obvious enough.
what needs to happen is more PvE induced station damage.
Singluar Micrometeors or space debris creating small holes in the station.
Steel worms that bore through the ships hull and start eating up metal items.
Some kind of leech critter that latches onto apcs and sucks power from it. You can kill them easily enough, but it leaves the apc broken and in need of repair.
