Azande Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Allow Station Command, specifically the Captain/CE, to buy energy from CC. Similar to when power gets fully restored after some random events or with adminboose. Recharges the APCS only and would not charge SMES units. The idea is it'd cost like 35,000 credits and using without very good reason (no active engineers) could be punishable as its redirecting resources from the Odin.
ben10083 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 No station account has more than 10k from what I can tell, so station will quickly go broke. Maybe a better idea is to make Solars more effective at providing power, and allow engineering to make more solar panels easily.

Ron Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 There are two engines, plenty of solars, PACMANS and batteries which can shift the location of energy around. I see no need for this.
Arrow768 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Aside from what Ron said, how would centcom charge all apcs on the station remotely ? I dont see the need or a realistic way how that would be possible. (And yes I know there is a admin verb to do that, but I dont remember it ever being used). Also, if there are no engineers and no personel capable of wiring the solars or setting up any of the engines you could try calling a engineering ert.
Azande Posted November 2, 2017 Author Posted November 2, 2017 I have faxed and asked about three times and had admins respond by giving me power [mention]Arrow768[/mention] , they have also done it many times in the past when there have been no engineers and no heads. This would simply be turning that admin action into an IC thing.
Zundy Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 It sounds more like one off things to keep the round going. From a gameplay perspective it's better if a crew of ERT come aboard to set up the engine or players join to do it. Having a magic power transfer process opens up a can of worms lore wise. Other then that I just personally don't like the idea.
Arrow768 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 We discussed this in the staff lobby, and there is no desire to make this happen. Archiving.
