Removed metagaming tips, seriously was this approved in the old days? Seems like this guide is trying to get newbies banned from metagaming.

=== | ===== Upgrading the APC <span style="color:blue">(Optional)</span>===== | ||
[[File:APC2.gif]] | [[File:APC2.gif]] | ||
If you have spare time, you can set up the APC (Area Power Controller) which is located on the wall to the left of the SMES. Unlock it with your ID. Ensure the power for equipment is set to ON, not auto. This is to ensure that vital engineering equipment will be the last to fail should the APC's power cell run low. You could turn off the lights too to save power, although this is not really recommended as it makes it harder to see trespassers in engineering. Don't forget to swipe your ID on the APC to lock it again. This is so that only people with proper access can change its settings (i.e. Engineers). | |||
The Engineering APC now starts with a 15000 capacity cell, unlike before, however this means there is no need to replace the cell at the start of the round. | The Engineering APC now starts with a 15000 capacity cell, unlike before, however this means there is no need to replace the cell at the start of the round. | ||

The radiation collectors are located on the port side of the engine itself, and can be accessed. Orange plasma tanks may be found in the "tank storage unit" in the airlock before the collector room. Place one plasma tank in each collector array and then TURN THE ARRAYS ON BY CLICKING ON THEM with an empty hand. Do this for all six collectors, and you should be ready to continue. | The radiation collectors are located on the port side of the engine itself, and can be accessed.

If you're a real nerd, you could ask the Chief Engineer to open the Engineering Secure Storage shutters from his office. Secure Storage is located behind the shutters in the SMES room. You can then load each of your plasma tanks into the cannister and fill them each with the maximum amount of plasma they can hold (note that if you do this, it is VITAL that you DO NOT open the valve when there isn't a tank attached, and you MUST close it before removing the tank. If you fail to do either of these, you will flood the area with plasma almost immediately). This will cause the engines to generate a massive energy surplus, allowing you to set the SMES to maximum input, charging them very quickly. In fact, loading these boosted plasma tanks into the collectors generates enough power to charge ALL of the station's SMES at the maximum input (although additional wiring is required, more on this later) | If you're a real nerd, you could ask the Chief Engineer to open the Engineering Secure Storage shutters from his office.

Note: Sometimes the singularity will cause EMP pulses if something is close to it and exposed to its radiation. These pulses can cause weapons to misfire, radios go haywire, thermal goggles to blind people and even disable containment's emitters. Which is pretty bad. So keep an eye on it. | Note: Sometimes the singularity will cause EMP pulses if something is close to it and exposed to its radiation.

=== | ===== Additional Modifications <span style="color:blue">(Optional/Dangerous)</span>===== | ||
It is possible to wire the engines directly to the main power ring. A good spot to do this is to the port end of engineering, near the bolted airlock. Lift the floor tiles and run a wire from there out into the maintenance tunnel and link it to the wire running through there. This allows you to charge APCs directly if somebody disables the SMES in engineering. | It is possible to wire the engines directly to the main power ring.
