Hangar deck refuelling room.

[FlamingLily]

I propose a refuelling room next to the Intrepid's hangar, specifically, to the left of it, in the lower maintenance area (where the firefighting stuff is currently stored, and further into maintenance here)

In my eyes, the layout of the room would be like this

 

The room would contain two connectors, one for a phoron canister (only one) and one for a CO2 canister (on the intrepid), as well as some other assorted supplies such as firefighting tanks and tools. Maintenance would be changed to solely be the door on the left (indicated in yellow), leading to the maintenance areas below, and the orange doors lead to the hangar and the hallway inbetween operations and the hangar.

The pipes lead to atmospherics, however they do not continuously flow unrestrained. Atmospherics has two pumps, leading to the hangar fuel room, and they default to being off. This maintains the inter-department cooperation that fueling is, without making it far easier for atmospherics to just do the job for the hangar techs (who will be the only ones to access the fuel room [other than mining but honestly I wouldn't hate if hangar techs had to fuel the mining shuttle too])

 

Note: I am more than happy to, and probably will, make the PR and map the changes myself. I make the suggestion to gather preliminary feedback and offer an opportunity for other ideas for locations and such before I map it all out and PR it.

Some alternative ideas:

The second fuel (for the wall mounted fuel tanks on the intrepid) is not Phoron, but Hydrogen, as it is allegedly accepted by the secondary thrust (blame cybs if this is false I'm pretty sure they told me this)

The Phoron Canister that connects to the pipe to atmos does not start in the fuel room, but Operations Secure Storage, as I believe there is currently one stored there.

Something similar was already declined by a maintainer. Because there are multiple ways to fuel the shuttle, two of which rely on systems we'd like players to use more (cargo and atmos).

If you do continue with this. The secondary fuel for the shuttle is indeed phoron. There is no need for hydrogen as it is the worst fuel by far. 

There are three, not one, phoron cans in the secure storage.

This system would still rely on atmospherics to send gas to refueling, it would just also allow for hangar technicians to also be involved (where as currently it's basically just atmospherics)

The space I was thinking of got absorbed into the main stairs so ignore the pictures but the idea is still something I want to pursue

The room is currently present on the map, therefore this suggestion is considered implemented.

Locking and archiving.
