Give mechanics default blueprints

[Superlagg]

I don't agree. There's throwing the mechanics a bone and then there's throwing the entire carcass and I feel like its the latter. Giving them essentials at the start seems to defeat the purpose a little.
THAT said, you raise an interesting point in that once core machines are destroyed, there's nothing a mechanic can do, and that's a bit lame. Having the ability to purchase blueprints would go a long way.

I've always thought it was a lot more fun as a mechanic to fix and build things than to poke stuff with a rectangle. This way, they can still go around the station and collect vending machines, but still be able to fix the cloner when needed.

But, ordering blueprints does sound like a fantastic idea.
