Method: Talk someone into letting you into a restricted area. Remember that this is a roleplaying game and that people should be playing ''characters''; try to work out what makes other people tick. Maybe the security officer likes drugs enough to forget about his job for a little while, or the scientist might be susceptible to flattery, or the priest might sneak you in to places if you go to all of his sermons.

Alternative: Persuade the captain / head of personnel / cyborg / AI to upgrade your ID card, they can all do this, although the cyborg or AI would have to let you into the HoP office to do it and are normally unwilling. It's best if you can do this privately over PDA or whatever so that your enemies do not learn of your plans.

Method: Click on the welding torch to turn it on, click on the wall to weld the panels off, change to the wrench, use it on the girders to disconnect them. Welding without eye protection makes you go blind, though you can do it once or twice and get away with it.

Bonus Fun: If you disconnect the floor from the wall you can apply some metal to turn it into a secret door, this will open when you click on it with an empty hand, but only you will know it's there. You and anyone wearing meson scanners, so don't do it near engineering.
Bonus Fun: If you skip the screwdriver step you can apply some metal, such as the metal left behind on the girder, to turn it into a secret door.

Equipment required: High level ID, HoP access or captain's quarters access


Method: Put your ID into the computer, put the high level ID into the computer, click on the computer, click on modify ID, change the job to "captain" giving you access to all areas, change the job to "custom" and rename it to your original job. The ID is indistinguishable from your original but opens all doors. The fastest possible means to access new areas once you've done it, but normally requires some illicit access to get into a position to do it, and will be incredibly obvious if anyone sees you.

You can also convince the HoP to do it for you, on the off-chance he might actually say yes.


Alternative Method: When you hit custom rename your job to "batman" declare "I am the night" over the public channel and disappear into the maintenance tunnels to use your ID to loot weapons and gadgets until a supervillain emerges.
