*'''ONLY IF''' you have permission from command or you know what you are doing, it is possible to wire the engines directly to the main power ring. A good spot to do this is to the west side of engineering, near the bolted airlock. Lift the floor tiles and run a wire from there out into the maintenance tunnel and link it to the wire running through there. This allows you to charge [[APC]]s directly if somebody disables the SMES in Engineering and keeps the station running in case of a [[powersink]]. | *'''ONLY IF''' you have permission from command or you know what you are doing, it is possible to wire the engines directly to the main power ring.

*If you added the maximum amount of plasma to the collectors, this modification can generate ~6,000 kW of power for the station. Enough to charge the 4 Engineering SMES and the 4 Solar SMES at 200 kW input. Therefore, run a tiny bit of wire from the maintenance tunnels to each solar SMES, and set them each of them to an input/output of 90,000/30,000. This will ensure massive amounts of power reserves (enough to last hours with the engine off). | *If you added the maximum amount of plasma to the collectors, this modification can generate ~6,000 kW of power for the station.
