* Powersinks explode when they've drained a certain amount of power. This explosion is only slightly smaller than that of a proper syndicate bomb, but it'll make an obnoxious and largely unique sound for the last few seconds before the blast. | * Powersinks explode when they've drained a certain amount of power.

* First of all, the Power Monitoring computer should always be the first port of call. | |||
# '''Power goes out everywhere, in under 10 seconds or so?''' This is most likely a power sink, power sinks have the odd quirk of sill powering the area they are placed in, so your best bet is to get searching for somewhere were the lights are still on, or if it's in maint, where you don't have to crowbar the doors. | |||
# '''Power goes out everywhere, but gradually, section by section?''' This means there's a problem in Engineering itself as the rest of the station is being topped up with charge. It'll be immediately obvious if the engine isn't on/has escaped. Your next port of call should be the SMES cells. Check they're outputting enough power to overcome the drain OR if no APCs are showing on the Power Monitoring computer, it means a wire has been cut either inside or immediately outside the Engineering area and is not being supplied to the rest of the station. | |||
# '''Power is out accross a small area?''' This is most commonly a broken wire, the easiest way to find it is with familiarity with the power-net and using that in conjuction with the power monitoring computer. If an area has had all wires sending power to it snipped, it's APCs will no longer show on the power monitoring computer. For example, if medbay as a whole has lost power and isn't showing any of it's APCs on the power monitor. The wire cut is most likely in the maint tunnel behind medbay. The more familiar you become with the power nets, the quicker you will be able to work out where the break is and be able to recognise common spots used. | |||
# '''Power is out accross 2 small rooms or in one room?''' This is most likely an APC that has been tampered with in some way. Either hacked by an AI/Saboteur, destroyed somehow or just had it's cell ripped out. Again, if the APC doesn't show up on the Power Monitoring computer,it means it's been severed from the power net and wire either inside that room or very close to the APC has been cut. | |||
# '''Power is intermittent accross the station. Stuff turns off for a while, starts working, then goes off again?''' Your SMES aren't outputting enough power to keep the APCs charged. This happens most often when the output is just under the drain so therefore some APCs get enough power, while others don't. | |||

* Plasma + N2O is extremely deadly if you can get someone to use it as internals/force them to use it. They won't even be able to scream. | * Plasma + N2O is extremely deadly if you can get someone to use it as internals/force them to use it. They won't even be able to scream. | ||
