There is a surprising variety of things to do as an assistant. If you really have no will to think "What does the station NEED?", I got ya covered:
- Above the gym, there is Crew Quarters B, one of the most desolate sectors of the station with not a whole lot in it; a pantry, a shitty bed-filled hall, a lounge that needs a whole lotta love and a gross shroom farm/bathroom. Why not reinforce the outer walls and knock down the south wall separating the bed hall and make a hobo kitchen?
- Get to the abandoned mechanics shop south of the diner. That entire asteroid counts as a floor, meaning you can potentially make a sister station if the research or engineering really fuck up. Or create a massive cloning complex and tell rampagers to use their csaber as a marital aid.
- The Debris field has tons of locked crates, drones that can be shot apart to get components that sell decently enough, and hidden satellites full of angry mobs to fight. You have access to not only pods, but also access to mining fabs in arrivals and some space suits. How are you NOT a prospector yet?
- Assistants can actually be the best gophers for crates and stockpiles on station, due to maintainence. Most non-greysuits have ridiculous amounts of pocket change. Why not hoard supplies and sell them for a fair price and in the inevitable fireball, equip the crew with much needed firesuits and gear?
- Want to make a shit ton of money with little effort? Slot machines.
- The diner itself is pretty desolate. Why not clean it up and become a competitor for the chef. Cook offs can be a great event.
