Locations of Interest

Arrivals

• New players arrive at the station and basic civilian gear is provided in lockers.

Cargo

• Just like a courier service, all new goods entering the station go through cargo. Cargo access allows for ordering new goods to the station with credits. Credits can be earned by mining and/or processing ores to be used for Engineering & Science.

Engineering

• Like Star Trek the Space Station has a reactor which is controlled similar to a nuclear reactor. A lack of cooling, too much or too little fuel could upset the balance and lead to a melt down. Their aim is to provide more power (more credits) to the station at the increased risk of everything going wrong.

Medical

• Healing, resurrection, becoming a cyborg or a lab-rat (monkey). Their aim is to keep people alive, how they achieve this is all up to them.. you'll just have to pick up the pieces afterwards.

Science

• Medical & Engineering's new tools and materials are created in Science. Without science there will be a lack of resources avaliable and create a bottle-neck preventing the other departments from working efficiently. Alternatively R&D doesn't always yield safe or sane results..

Security

• The brig, armory and offices for high level personel is in security. As weapons are typically held in this area it is also an area for fair game if security gets paranoid about if your a traitor or not.

Bridge

• All crisises, communications are handled from the bridge. In FTL13 this is where navigation and gun-targeting is located.

Bar / Mess Hall

• Just like on the starship Enterprise, there is a bar where you can order drinks. Typically there is a Mess Hall nearby depending on the layout. Food is required in this simulation and your nutrition isn't always looked at carefully when death is knocking on the door.

AI Core

• Typically only accessed by the captain or somebody with high clearance. Contains turrets and if by-passed then you have access to create letters called 'Laws' which you can program the AI to follow. The AI being a player who was bound by these LAWs will now have new rules to follow-notFollow, depending on how crazy you feel.

Emergency Shuttle

• Called from the bridge; can be cancelled by any senior personel. The emergency shuttle if it arrives signals the end of the round and your only chance of escape (unless your fortunate to find a escape pod). You'll want to try to survive the trip as sometimes the emergency shuttle can turn into a blood bath inside while your flying away from Space Station 13.
