Effectively, you are an assistant on steroids, and need not fear any electrical things with your gloves. You can, however, affect the station, for good or for ill, much more profoundly than a mere [[assistant]] can. For example, badass engineers can break into the [[Teleporter|teleporter room]] quickly to kill a malevolent [[AI]]. | Effectively, you are an assistant on steroids, and need not fear any electrical things with your gloves.

Note that some of these are for roleplay reasons only. Roleplaying also determines whether you're a good engineer or not. --When talking with people face-to-face, take the helmet off and carry it around a little bit -- hardsuits look pretty cool without the helmet on.Write down things you figure out like the door wires and photocopy them, distribute them to the other engineering staff as a memo. Engineers have some exceptional roleplay as the people that fix everything when everything else is going to hell. Take advantage of that camaraderie and the ludicrous nature of the situations you will find yourself in. A robotic mute-guy-fixing-everything playing style is efficient, of course, but it isn't nearly as fun for everyone. | Note that some of these are for roleplay reasons only.

If someone cries that he can't get out of somewhere and no one can get him out, then it's your job to do so. [[Hacking#Airlocks|Hacking airlocks]], [[Guide to construction#Walls%202|deconstructing walls]], basically whatever it takes to get to them. I don't need to point out that you should never put others at risk in doing so! | If someone cries that he can't get out of somewhere and no one can get him out, then it's your job to do so.

* To get maximum camera coverage, you only have to place one camera every fifteen tiles. If there's a wall between them, use an analyzer on the assembly after welding it to the wall to create an x-ray camera. Otherwise, count seven tiles from where the previous camera disappears from view and build a camera there. | * To get maximum camera coverage, you only have to place one camera every fifteen tiles.
