Know that guy who builds all the things? Well, he has a boss, and you are that man's boss! You are the head of the Engineering department, which includes not only [[Station Engineer]]s, but [[Atmospheric Technician]]s as well. Essentially, your job is to boss [[Engineering]] and [[Atmospherics]] around and make sure the engine and solars are [[Starting the Engine|set up]] so that the power is flowing. Other than directing the workflow of the department, you're also expected to carry out general [[Station Engineer|engineer]] duties and maintain Telecomms. To be a good CE it is imperative that you have a good working knowledge of how APCs, SMES cells and power in general works, how to decipher atmospherics, how to efficiently set up the singularity and solars and how to get your charges' sorry asses moving. | Know that guy who builds all the things?

Obviously this will be your first priority. Sometimes your team will be fairly competent and you'll only need to supervise, but a lot of the time you will be required to step in. [[Singularity Engine|Read the guide]], and make sure you know it. If someone's clearly new, help them out a bit and show them the ropes. If someone's clearly being a twat then shout at them and forcibly demote if they continue. With these points in mind the singularity should successfully come online and start generating power. It's always a good idea to announce this to the crew when it happens. | Obviously this will be your first priority.
