Engineer

"The reactor is the beating heart of every ship, the life-force all other systems depend on. A good engineer always listens to his ship and knows when to push her to new extremes. Be bold." Mauxses Weldon - Assistant Director of Applied Research, W.D. Corp.

Engineer is one of the many classes in PULSAR: Lost Colony.

Role and Abilities
The Engineer's job is to maximize the potential power output for each of the four systems connected to the reactor. The task becomes difficult when the total reactor output is smaller than all of the systems combined, and when the reactor temperature overheats the ship, disabling it for a short time. The Engineer is also first responder to damaged or destroyed systems and should be equipped with a repair tool and extinguisher at all times.

The reactor does not blindly expend energy for no purpose. Because of this, the Engineer does not send power to the system. Instead they limit the amount of power each system can use.

In addition, the Engineer is commonly in charge of the simple task of preparing the warp jump. Keep in mind, charging the warp drive usually causes a noticeable spike in your ship's EM signature. If there are enemies nearby, they may be alerted of your presence and may attempt to intervene.
