In general, the SMESs don't need maintenance. However, there are a few times when they do need to be handled specially, namely during the following instances. | |||
: '''The SMESs are fully charged.''' They might as well be ramped up to full output. But it doesn't hurt to keep them at lower levels. | |||
: '''The Backup SMESs are charging.''' In this case, the SMESs will need to be ramped up to full output so that the Backups can charge faster. | |||
: '''The singularity has escaped.''' This one is iffy. The station still needs power so output needs to stay up, but if all the power is used before a new singularity can be set up, then the SMES output needs to be turned them down. This usually resolves itself when the command team calls the escape shuttle, or when the rampant singlo eats the SMESs on its way to Cargo. | |||
: '''The singularity has died due to lack of PA power.''' Reduce the output levels on the SMESs. In this case, the singlo can easily be set up again. The SMESs will need to power the Emitters in the containment field. | |||
: '''The AI is rogue.''' Cut all power. The AI's greatest ally is electricity. Take it away. Note that the APCs' batteries will still power the station for a bit. | |||
: '''There is a power sink on the ship.''' Ensure output levels are lower than input levels, but not completely off. This keeps the power sink from draining the SMESs. You can use some clever electrician tricks to [[power sink|find the power sink]] through the power lines as long as there is still output from the SMESs. | |||
There is an off-chance that an enthusiastic [[RnD]] Scientist will want to upgrade the SMESs. If they do, you'll lose all that charge you've been saving up, so only upgrade one SMES at a time at most. | |||
