Chief Ship Engineer

Access: Engineering Areas, Maintenance Passages, Command Difficulty: Medium Rank: Lieutenant Junior Grade(starting), Lieutenant(25hrs), Lieutenant Commander(50hrs) Class: Navy Supervisors: Commander Duties: Supervise the Ship Technicians, and organize the repairs and constructions around the ship. Guides: Guide to Engineering Guide to Fire Support Quote:Why do I have to build the FOB? It's only one of my three actual responsibilities?

Introduction

As the Chief Ship Engineer, you are capable of doing everything your STs can do - and more - but as a command role, you are expected to delegate the work to them.

As an officer you can also pilot the tadpole, you have superior engineering skills to the PO and if one goes perma you or one of the other officers should step up to pilot the tad.

Playing as the CSE

In the current way that TGMC is, you might find yourself being the only command member, or all command roles not being filled but that's okay. If Requisitions and Overwatch are already being manned by your fellow unga abusers, consider:

• Recycling all the ship floor tiles into metal via the Autolathe
• Check the fusion reactors
• Re-arming aircraft
• Loading the Orbital Bombardment Cannon
• Deconstructing walls to gain metal
• Yelling at the ST to bring you alcohol from the CL office
• ERPing with the CL
• Bragging about how cool and colorful your outfit looks compared to everyone else
• Lying down on the floor
• Crying because you don't have any unique mechanics and nobody needs you

Repairing Critical Machinery

These are some of the machinery that are critical for the ship's well-being. Make sure to memorize them if you can.

APC

First, determine how the APC was damaged. If it's wires are simply cut (such as from a xeno swipe), simply use the wire cutters and mend every wire and replace the panel *with a screwdriver. If it was totally destroyed, move onto the next step.

• If it was destroyed, remove the cover with a crowbar or whack it off with something, like a knife.
• Remove the power cell with an empty hand.
• Screwdriver the board loose.
• Crowbar the board out (boards from destroyed APCs crumble when removed, necessitating a replacement).
• Use wirecutters to remove the power terminal, you will receive 5 cable coil from this.
• The power terminal 'must' be exposed first, crowbar up the floor tile in front of the APC if it's not
• Use a blowtorch to weld the frame off the wall, you will gain 1 metal sheet from this.
• Construct a new APC frame from two sheets of metal.
• Pick-up the frame and attach it to the wall.
• Install a power control module.
• Screwdriver the board in place.
• Install 5 cable coil into the APC.
• Slot in a power cell.
• Crowbar the cover shot.
• Swipe the APC with an appropriate ID card and access the interface.
• Enable the breaker.
• (Optional) Lock the interface with the ID.

Ship-side Fusion and Geothermal Reactors

The ship-side fusion reactors will start off in perfect condition and pre-loaded with a fusion cell at the beginning of each round, making it a simple matter of turning them on. The planet-side geothermal reactors however, will always be in the maximum state of damage. In the event that you need to repair or, for the ship-side reactors, replace the fusion cell with a fresh one, here's the simple steps to doing so.

• First, assess the damage. If the reactor is undamaged, move onto the second step.
  • If the reactor looks like this Файл:TGMC Fusion Broken Severe.png/Файл:TGMC Geothermal Broken Severe.png, simply use the blowtorch to repair it to the next level of damage.
  • If the reactor looks like this Файл:TGMC Fusion Broken Moderate.png/Файл:TGMC Geothermal Broken Moderate.png, simply use the wire cutters to repair it to the next level of damage.
  • If the reactor looks like this Файл:TGMC Fusion Broken Light.png/Файл:TGMC Geothermal Broken light.png, simply use the wrench to repair it to mint condition.
• Second, assess the power level (This only applies for fusion reactors, if the reactor you're repairing is a geothermal one, skip to the last step). This can be found out in two ways, the first is by examining it and getting a percentile readout, and the other is by looking for the bright blue bar on the right side of the reactor that gives a rough readout. If the reactor's on, the central screen will flash and turn red when the cell is running low.
  • If the power is out or running low, first turn off the reactor, if it is running, by clicking on it with an empty hand.
  • Next, crowbar open the maintenance panel and the power cellФайл:TGMC Fusion Cell Empty.png will drop on the ground beneath you.
  • After that, grab a fresh cellФайл:TGMC Fusion Cell Full.png from one of the tables to the north or south side and take the discarded cell to the recyclerФайл:TGMC Fusion Cell Recycler.gif to the right, the recycler will recharge it for later.
• Finally, turn it on. If you did it right, the reactor should turn on. If it did not, read and review each step. If it still doesn't turn on, consider asking for help.

Orders

As command staff, you have access to orders, which can be used to buff nearby troops with helpful effects. These also cause you to broadcast a quote over the radio(provided you have one) so people know when you're calling one out. After giving an order, there is a cooldown period until you can give another one. Give orders using the action buttons on the top-left of the screen. As any member of Command Staff, you have access to Orders which can be used to buff nearby troops with helpful effects. Using one causes you to shout out a unique phrase over the radio (Provided you have one). After giving an Order, there is a cooldown period until you can give another one. You can give Orders using the action buttons on the top-left of the screen.

Orders effects are influenced by your Leadership skill, which increases both the effect and range.

Range = 3 + Leadership

Command	Description
Move order	Increases movement speed. Great for Running from Chasing Xenos and getting to objectives. Gives a Speed bonus equal to -0.1 - 0.1*Leadership.
Hold order	Reduces damage received by 10% per Leadership. Increases pain resistance. Helpful since pain slows down move speed, makes you drop stuff, and overall just sucks to have. Reduces the effects of dizziness and jitteriness.
Focus order	Increases accuracy by 10% + 5% per Leadership as well as making Aiming instant.
Attack order	Places a visual indicator, displayed to all marines as a Pointer and a Map Icon, urging them to Attack a given point.
Defend order	Places a visual indicator, displayed to all marines as a Pointer and a Map Icon, urging them to Defend a given point.
Retreat order	Places a visual indicator, displayed to all marines as a Pointer and a Map Icon, urging them to Retreat to a given point.
