Escape Shuttle
link=File:Leshuttle.png}}
The savior and bane of many players.
Purpose: Transporting the station crew back to CentCom
Key items: Depends on the shuttle.
Workers: None
Access: Everyone
Exits: West to the Escape Shuttle Hallway when docked, west to Space otherwise
General
Do not authorise early launch without a valid reason
Doing so as a non-antag and without a genuine, immediate emergency (rampaging singularity, nuke ops, etc.) could get you banned.

On one hand, it is with this that many players are allowed to supposedly continue life after departing Space Station 13. On the other, many players may die waiting for the shuttle to leave, due to either a shuttle brawl or a traitor who happens to want no company with him on his return voyage. The escape shuttle is also the cause of many arguments as to whether or not the situation on the station warrants an evacuation.

Let's not muck around here. You may have avoided death by asphyxiation thanks to some greyshit smashing windows for the hell of it. You may have dodged a bomb ripping the Medbay to pieces. You might not have breathed in the horrible, horrible virus that was "accidentally" released into the air system. But none of that my good friend, compares to the hell that awaits. Any form of restraint that was previously displayed has a mysterious habit of vanishing in the last few minutes of a station's life. Friends turn on friends. Clowns become murdering psychopaths (more than usual). Security starts stunning everyone and anyone, and someone always drops a flashbang or two.

Welcome to the Escape Shuttle.

Calling the Shuttle

The shuttle can be called from a Communications Console.gif Communications Console by any Heads of Staff, the AI and its Cyborgs, or anyone with Bridge access. The same people, except the AI and its cyborgs, can recall the shuttle so long as 5 minutes have not passed (3 in Red Alert) since it was called. During Revolution, Malfunction and Blob game modes, the shuttle can be called and will arrive, but it will not depart from the station.

Once called, the shuttle usually takes ten minutes for Central Command to power, program, and supply the shuttle before arriving at the station, waiting for three minutes (if the Heads or a traitor with an emag don't get too jumpy first), and then leaves the station, taking two minutes to travel in hyperspace. Presumably the supplies are in case in the shuttle really fouls up this hyperspace process.

An alternative to the shuttle is to escape on an escape pod.

Escape Shuttles

Escape shuttles are usually split into four sections: Bridge, Brig, Medbay and Cargo.

Bridge
The bridge tends to be at the fore section, requires Bridge access and is reserved for the Heads of Staff, although the general crew gets a boner for occupying restricted areas and will try and slip in. If at least three Heads of Staff swipe their IDs on the Shuttle Console (or if a traitor emags it), the waiting time for the shuttle gets shortened to 10 seconds.

Brig
The brig is marked with red flooring and should be used to house criminals long enough to be transferred over to Centcom security for further investigation and possible incarceration. Traitors within the brig when the shuttle arrives at Centcom will fail their escape objective. The brig requires Security access to enter.

Medbay
Medbay is usually a small medical area, containing two statis units and basic medical supplies. First aid kits are often also located throughout the shuttle and on the bridge.

Cargo
Cargo is usually a small holding area in the southwest end of the shuttle with a few lockers and crates. Why does this exist? Nobody knows. Usually it houses one or two people attempting to hide from the carnage outside.

Purchased Shuttles

Occasionally, the emergency shuttle may be replaced by CentCom, following an issue with the current shuttle. Usually though, you will have to purchase a shuttle to change it from the default one. Purchasing a shuttle from a Communications Console.gif Communications Console will inform Central Command of the purchase and that shuttle will arrive instead of the standard one. There are a number of different shuttles to choose from.

Birdboat Station Emergency Shuttle 1000 Though a little on the small side, this shuttle is feature complete, which is more than can be said for the pattern of station it was commissioned for. Small
Box Station Emergency Shuttle 2000 The gold standard in emergency exfiltration, this tried and true design is equipped with everything the crew needs for a safe flight home. Standard
Donutstation Emergency Shuttle 2500 The perfect spearhead for any crude joke involving the station's shape, this shuttle supports a separate containment cell for prisoners and a compact medical wing. Large

NES Port 500 The Nanotrasen Emergency Shuttle Port(NES Port for short) is a shuttle used at other less known Nanotrasen facilities and has a more open inside for larger crowds, but fewer onboard shuttle facilities. Small
NT Lepton Violet 15000 The research team based on this vessel went missing one day, and no amount of investigation could discover what happened to them. The only occupants were a number of dead rodents, who appeared to have clawed each other to death. Needless to say, no engineering team wanted to go near the thing, and it's only being used as an Emergency Escape Shuttle because there is literally nothing else available. Standard
Omegastation Emergency Shuttle 1000 On the smaller size with a modern design, this shuttle is for the crew who like the cosier things, while still being able to stretch their legs. Small
