To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hi Charlatan
Some nice thought breakdown there.
On the major systems on the ship I guess what needs to be decided is what is going to be on the ship in the first place (ie: powerplant, coolent, fuel source, recyclers, batteries/capacitors, replicators or hydroponics, hydraulics, propulsion, thrusters, air circulation, air filtration, H2O pressure and filtration, etc...). So from her you would probably just need to string together like a flow chart for like troubleshooting.
We know that there is no system that is self contained (maybe for the self-destruct 🙂 ), so almost everything will need some sort of electrical wiring and power. After that its deciding if the equipment uses coolent, water, hydraulic or other material to get and keep it running. And if there is a subsystem that manages these settings (ie: terminal/server) this will need to patched in to control the sub-system. Personally I would probably keep it a bit more simple in that you could probably do all terminals for interfacing with the systems or if you know the problem you can delegate to a crew member to fix the problem.
Just some thoughts. But I definitely like where you are going with this Charlatan.
Will this involve FTL travel and if so how will it work?
