Jobs: Difference between revisions

In Yogstation, your job is somewhat akin to your character class in that it defines your starting equipment, your [[identification_card|station access]], and what you are expected or required to be doing with your time. Various jobs, such as Security postings and Command roles have timegates to them that must be fulfilled before the option to play them is available. Additionally, due to the Muman-centric nature of the corporation running [[Space Station 13]], [[Nanotrasen]], only Humans are allowed to play as Command staff, though in times of need and understaffing, non-Humans may be promoted into these roles by the [[Head of Personnel]] or [[Captain]].

|Be responsible for the wellbeing of the entire station. Manage your [[Heads of Staff]], and see to it that everything is functioning as it should be. Manage directives from [[Centcom#Central_Command|Central Commmand]], and juggle a station hurtling towards absolute disaster. Twist your own head off when the walls start closing in and hell breaks loose.

|Handle internal issues and disputes. Manage the Supply department of the station. Assign or reassign jobs as requested within reason. Force the crew to handle paperwork. Protect your corgi, Ian, as if he were your own child.

|Identify threats to the station and its people. Command your Officers and turn them into a robust crime-stopping force. Have your Detective go solve crimes to stop him from sulking around his office and drinking. Revel in the fact that everyone hates you.

|Manage the station's [[Engineering]] department, the power grid, and the atmospherics and communications networks. See to it that the station's engine is running efficiently, and that any damage to the station is repaired in short order. Ignore hull breaches in anywhere that isn't your department.
