The bar is colored red when the capacitor is discharging. The bar is colored bright green when the capacitor is charging.
The electricity level in the capacitor is shown as a horizontal bar at the upper right of the power plant section. The color of the bar changes to yellow or red at low fuel levels. The hydrogen fuel level is shown at the upper left of the power plant section as a bright blue bar. The various systems of a spacecraft use electrical power from the capacitor to operate. The amount of electricity that can be stored in the capacitor is determined by the number of power plant units in the spacecraft's design. Electricity accumulates in the capacitor for ready use by the systems of the spacecraft. The power plant of a spacecraft converts hydrogen fuel into electrical power. The right section contains FTL drive controls.Įngineering console example. The top left section contains maneuver drive controls. The bottom left section contains power plant controls. The engineer station is divided into three sections by red lines. As the crewman increase in rank, they will become better at keeping the systems finely tuned.Īn avatar will be able to keep the engineer station at optimal efficiency with minimal work.Ī spacecraft does not require an engineer console to tune their systems if the volume of its power plant and maneuver drive combined is less than 100m³.
If no engineer station is present on a spacecraft or it isn't manned by crew or an avatar, the power plant will have decreased fuel conversation efficiency meaning an increase in fuel consumption, and the maneuver drive will also have worse thrust and turning control meaning that accidents such as burning upon atmospheric reentry are much more likely.Īn NPC crewman will manage the engineer console fairly well. The engineer console is most of all used to fine tune the spacecraft's power plant and maneuver drive. Without an engineer console, a spacecraft has a much higher chance of burning up when attempting atmospheric reentry.
