It is possible to wire the engines directly to the main power ring. A good spot to do this is to the west side 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 [[APC]]s directly if somebody disables the SMES in Engineering and keeps the station running in case of a  [[powersink]].

Another interesting point is that the APC in engineering will not charge from its own SMES unless this modification is made. Meaning that when the collectors are turned off, containment fails pretty quickly. With this quick modification, this gives you time to notice and fix the problem.

* Other wires will disconnect the console from the PA (meaning controls do nothing) or increase the PA power on pulsing (useful if you're a traitor)

* Once you've done your hacking close the panel using a screwdriver and then '''DON'T FORGET TO USE THE CONSOLE AND RE-SCAN FOR THE PARTS'''. Otherwise it'll remain inactive and will be simply off like during setup.
