You answer to the Quartermaster, and they answer to the Head of Personnel. The majority of QM's will leave you to your own devices, provided you're not abusing your position or rejecting perfectly reasonable orders so you can save points for guns or a hat crate. [[Hacking]] MULEBots and the autolathe would best be done with his/her permission, but most players don't care/expect these to be hacked. | You answer to the Quartermaster, and they answer to the Head of Personnel.

'''Using a MULEbot:''' | |||
You can control the MULEbot by clicking on it and unlocking its controls, but it's a lot easier and safer with the PDA. | |||
# Drag the crate you want to deliver next to the MULE. | |||
# Drag the crate's sprite on top of MULE's sprite. It should load on. | |||
# Open your PDA. | |||
# Click ''Delivery Bot Control''. | |||
# Click ''Scan for Active Bots''. | |||
# Choose your MULE. | |||
# Click on ''Destination: (set)''. | |||
# Choose a destination and click OK. | |||
# Click ''Proceed''. | |||
Your MULE should be on its way to the destination, with the default settings of also coming back home when the job is finished. | |||
It's common for the Cargo Technician to, at the very least, enable nonstandard cargo and speed the motor up. The MULE is one of your best tools as a Cargo Technician, and can make your life (and subsequently the lives of the rest of the crew) so much better. | It's common for the Cargo Technician to, at the very least, enable nonstandard cargo and speed the motor up.

== The Delivery System == | |||
In addition to MULEs and hand-deliveries, you can also make use of the disposals [[Mail_Sorter|mailing system]]. Note that a break in the disposal piping could cause your package to be lost (this hardly ever happens), so this is not always the most secure ways to deliver something. You can wrap up a piece of paper and mail it the same way if you (or someone at the desk) wants to mail a letter. | In addition to MULEs and hand-deliveries, you can also make use of the disposals [[Mail_Sorter|mailing system]].
