Give Mechanics/Engineers the ability to repair emagged locks
#1
I was inspired by something Spy_Guy said in the Destiny RP thread that Mechanics would probably be the go-to experts for electric lock systems - if that's the case, which makes sense, Mechanics (and other Engineering staff) should be able to fix them. I'm imagining a multi-step process (detailed below).

Each thing to repair also needs an Access Circuit Board which is configured by swiping an ID with the board and selecting which of the swiped accesses is necessary to open the door / locker / etc. This also means you could reconfigure non-emagged airlocks.

Locker (only works on open lockers, whether emagged or not):
--Open lock module cover (screwdriver)
--Cut off lock motor wires (wirecutters) - lock becomes nonfunctional
--Remove old/damaged Access Circuit Board (screwdriver)
--Insert newly configured Access Circuit Board
--Screw into place (screwdriver)
--Add new lock motor wires (cable coil)
--Solder lock motor wires onto the circuit board and motors (soldering iron)
--Close lock module cover (screwdriver)

Airlock
--Open access panel (usual screwdriver)
--Cut access check wire (wirecutters)
--Unlock retention plate (ID, requires APC access if not emagged - in GUI, "The access board retention plate is locked.")
--Open retention plate (crowbar on retention plate text - "The access board retention plate is unlocked.")
--Remove old/damaged Access Circuit Board (empty hand on retention plate text)
--Insert newly configured Access Circuit Board (Access Circuit Board on retention plate text)
--Close retention plate (just click)
--Lock retention plate (ID)
--Solder access check wire back onto access board (Soldering Iron)

(Note: if you don't resecure the retention plate by closing and locking it, there's a chance a door's ID reader will pop out and fall into the inside of the door when someone opens it, requiring the person to open the panel with a screwdriver and put the ID reader back.)

Glass Sliding Door
--Remove ID reader cover (screwdriver)
--Disconnect motor signal module (wirecutter)
--Disengage retention pin (multi-tool, requires APC access ID)
--Remove Access Circuit Board (screwdriver)
--Insert newly configured Access Circuit Board
--Re-engage retention pin (multi-tool, doesn't require APC access)
--Reconnect motor signal module (soldering iron)
--Replace ID reader cover (screwdriver)

(Not securing the retention pin only means that anyone can take out the board.)

Thoughts? Opinions? I think it'd be a cool little way to improve the repair and construction capabilities of the Engineering department.
