OPERATIONS STAFF
Hangar Technician	Access: Maint Tunnels, Mail Sorting, Basic Operations Qualifications: At least 18 years of age. Employers: Orion Express, Hephaestus Industries. Supervisors: Operations Manager. Duties: Sort the warehouse, make deliveries, send mail, refuel shuttles, reload ship weapons Guides: Guide to Paperwork, Guide to Communication Devices, Guide to Gunnery

The Hangar Technician is a valuable crew member responsible for managing all basic Operations-related tasks. Their duties include handling mailing requests, managing bounties, reloading the ship's weapons upon orders, and sorting and distributing warehouse contents. They also serve as the reliable "grease monkeys" ensuring that shuttles are fueled, maintained, and ready to go at a moment's notice for expeditions.

Duties

Operations Account

The Operations Department has an account with 5000 credits available for use. It is your duty to manage this account and ensure that it does not run out of funds. To maintain a healthy balance, you need to complete bounties, ship crates, phoron and platinum, or charge for handling orders. The phoron and platinum must be inside a crate to be counted towards the account's funds.

Bounties

To earn credits for the Operations Account, you can take on bounties listed on the Supply Console located in the Operations Bay. Open the Cargo Control program and select the Bounties tab to view the list of items. While some bounties can be completed by searching the warehouse, most of them require assistance from other departments. Once you obtain the required items, place them in crates and send them back in the shuttle. Then, claim your rewards in the Supply Console. Upon completing five bounties, you may request new ones.

Handling Orders

As the Hangar Technician, your responsibilities include handling orders, distributing items, and minimizing shuttle costs. To stay informed about crew requests, link your PDA to the ringer terminal and the Requests Console. This will ensure that you are promptly alerted to any demands or needs that arise.

Order: When a department needs equipment or materials, they can place an order using the Operations Order program or ask you to do it for them. Some items may present a choice regarding different suppliers, and each supplier will have a fee for the shuttle to go to them. Ordering larger quantities from fewer suppliers can help reduce these fees. Additionally, you can adjust the Operations Handling fee to cover any additional costs if necessary.
Approve/Reject: To view an order that has been placed, go to the Submitted section of the Operations Control program. There, you can see the name of the person who submitted the order and its total cost. Clicking on the Details option will provide additional information, such as the items ordered, the reason for the order, and the individual prices of each item. Based on factors such as who placed the order, the items requested, and the availability of funds, you can either Approve or Reject the order. Ensure that funds are available either in the operations account or the requester's account before approving an order.
Ship: Now that you have one or more Approved Orders waiting to be shipped, you may send the shuttle to go pick them up. First, ensure the shuttle is away, and then call it back. Remember when sending the shuttle away to ask if anyone is on it at the moment, or in one of the airlocks, or they may be harmed. Again, as was stated in the Order section, the fewer individual suppliers, and the larger amount of items being shipped, the cheaper the fee per item. So it may be best to wait and try to ship multiple items at once, rather than send and recall the shuttle for each and every order.
Deliver/Pay: Once the shuttle has docked and the orders have arrived, it's time to deliver them and receive payment. If an order has been approved, you can accept payment in advance. To receive payment, simply use the Operations Delivery program on a console or tablet and insert the customer's ID and press the payment key. The funds will be deposited into the Operations Account, and you can give them their order. Alternatively, if an EFTPOS has been set up by the Operations Manager, you can charge them the required amount and then provide them with their order.

Sorting the Warehouse

Operations houses a large warehouse containing a variety of items that differ in their usefulness and utility. While there is no strict requirement to distribute these items to each department unless requested, it is advisable to at least organize the warehouse beforehand, grouping similar items in the same crate. Below is a guide on which items are most suitable for each department:

Security: Any contraband, weapons, or security equipment
Medical: Any chemicals, medical tools, or medical supplies
Research: Any advanced machine parts, robotic limbs, exosuit modules, steel, glass, phoron, gold, silver, diamonds and uranium
Mining: Any mesons, mining tools, magboots, or lanterns
Engineering: Any EVA gear not given to mining, materials not given to research, tools, signs, and firefighting equipment (fire axes included)

Anything not mentioned here may be distributed as you feel is best, but should be done so reasonably.

Mailing

Mailing will allow you to distribute packages through the disposals system. However, lockers, when mailed, will be flung from the disposals fairly violently, so take care. The process for mailing is as follows:

Using a roll of parcel paper, wrap your item/crate/locker.
Grab a Destination Tagger (which looks like a red and black label maker) and set a destination.
Mark the parcel with the destination.
Put the item/crate/locker into the belt, and take care not to fall into it yourself, or you will take a very brief, painful, and likely lethal ride to the Disposals Crusher.
Request your crate back from the department, if needed.

It is important to remember that anything not marked with a destination tag will be sent directly to the Disposals Crusher, so pay attention.

Reloading ship weapons

On specific occasions, you may be ordered to reload The Francisca, The Longbow, and the The Grauwolf. You can find the ammunition for these weapons inside the Secure Ammunition Storage, in the Tech Storage west of the Operations Bay.

For a more detailed guide, refer to the Guide to Gunnery.

Orion Express Courier System

At the back of the warehouse, you'll find Orion Express packages, each marked with a specific exoplanet. These packages can be delivered to their designated destination to generate funds for the Operations Department. The delivery process is as outlined below:

Access Courier's Locker: Find the courier's locker, also situated at the back of the warehouse. Inside, you'll find essential supplies, including a cargo pack capable of accommodating up to two cargo packages.

Request Transportation: Seek assistance from a fellow crew member (like a Shaft Miner on the Spark, a Xenoarcheologist on the Intrepid, or a Bridge Crewman on the Canary) to secure transportation to the designated exoplanet.

Make the Delivery: Upon arrival, navigate to the specified coordinates on the package and deposit it into the chute.

Couriers receive a 2% tip for each delivery, while the Operations Department receives the funds allocated on the package. It is recommended for couriers to always have a companion to mitigate potential security risks, like local wildlife or unauthorized personnel trying to intercept packages.

Equipment

The Operations Department has some tools that can assist you in supplying the ship.

Autolathe

The Autolathe can be filled with glass and steel in order to fabricate tools, containers, radios, and other items which may be requested. There should be some glass and steel in the Operations Office on a table, just so you can supply the Autolathe.

Operations Tug

A relatively complex machine to use - the cargo tug is essentially a small train to manually transport multiple crates. To link it up, drag the chain link from the unhooked wagon to the hooked wagon (or train tug). Make sure that the chain link is in the right direction, however - that can be ensured by pushing the cart into the tug/train.

To activate the tug's engine, locate the keys and turn them in the ignition (do not lose these keys, as they will render the tug inoperable).

To load the tug's platforms, simply place yourself firmly in front of the wagon and lift the crate onto it.

The cargo tug is powered by a power cell, which may run out and require replacement. To replace the power cell, use a screwdriver to undo the panel on the tug's exterior. Then, use a crowbar to extract the depleted power from the latch, and insert a new power cell. Finally, secure the panel back into place using the screwdriver.

-The Cargo Department has an account with 5000 credits in it. You must charge people to ensure that it isn't drained of all funds, or ship crates, phoron, and platinum in order to add to the funds. The phoron and platinum '''must''' be inside a crate, or it will be lost, and not contribute to the overall funds of the cargo account. Phoron, platinum, and crates are worth about 100 credits each.
 ===Handling Orders===
-As the Cargo Technician, you will be expected to handle the ordering and distribution of ordered items, and to do your best to minimize the cost of the shuttle.

-#'''Order:''' Somebody can place an order for equipment or materials for their department, using the Cargo Order program. They will sometimes have a choice between suppliers. Each supplier will have a fee for the shuttle to go to them. The amount ordered from them, however, will not affect this fee. So the best policy is to order more at once, and from the same/few suppliers. You can also adjust the Cargo Handling fee, to make up the difference, if needed.

-#'''Approve/Reject:''' If an order has been placed, you can look at it in the Submitted section of the Cargo Control program. You will see the name of who has submitted it, and how much it costs. Clicking the Details option will allow you to see more information, such as what has been ordered, the reason for the order, and the individual prices of each ordered item. You may then Approve, or Reject the order, depending on who has ordered it, what has been ordered, and whether or not the funds for the order, either in the cargo account, or in their account, are available.

Based on factors such as who placed the order, the items requested, and the availability of funds, you can either Approve or Reject the order. Ensure that funds are available either in the operations account or the requester's account before approving an order.
-#'''Ship:''' Now that you have one or more Approved Orders waiting to be shipped, you may send the shuttle to go pick them up. First, ensure the shuttle is away. Then, call it back. Remember when sending the shuttle away to ask if anyone is on it at the moment, or in one of the airlocks, or they may be harmed. Again, as was stated in the '''Order''' section, the less individual suppliers, and the larger amount of items being shipped, the cheaper the fee per item. So it may be best to wait, and try to ship multiple items at once, rather than send and recall the shuttle for each and every order.

-#'''Deliver/Pay:''' Now that the shuttle is docked, and the order(s) are here, it is time to deliver them, and obtain payment for them. The easiest way is to call whoever ordered to Cargo, and open the Cargo Delivery program on a console, then open their order, and have them insert their ID and press the payment key. The funds will be added to the Cargo Account, and you can hand over their order. If the EFTPOS is set up by the HoP, you could charge them the amount needed with it, and then give them their order.
+#'''Deliver/Pay:''' Once the shuttle has docked and the orders have arrived, it's time to deliver them and receive payment. If an order has been approved, you can accept payment in advance. To receive payment, simply use the Operations Delivery program on a console or tablet and insert the customer's ID and press the payment key. The funds will be deposited into the Operations Account, and you can give them their order. Alternatively, if an EFTPOS has been set up by the Operations Manager, you can charge them the required amount and then provide them with their order.
 ===Sorting the Warehouse===
-As a Cargo Technician, you are expected to sort, and then distribute the contents of the warehouse, and send them to various departments. While there isn't any set in stone way that this must be done, it is generally accepted that items are sorted into piles according to department, and then shipped to the appropriate department. The standard method, though not the only one, of sorting is:

While there is no strict requirement to distribute these items to each department unless requested, it is advisable to at least organize the warehouse beforehand, grouping similar items in the same crate. Below is a guide on which items are most suitable for each department:
 *'''Security:''' Any contraband, weapons, or security equipment
 *'''Medical:''' Any chemicals, medical tools, or medical supplies
-*'''Research:''' Any machine parts, robotic limbs, exosuit modules, steel, glass, phoron(unless you intend to ship it to the Odin for cargo funds), gold, silver, diamonds, uranium, and plasteel
+*'''Research:''' Any advanced machine parts, robotic limbs, exosuit modules, steel, glass, phoron, gold, silver, diamonds and uranium

 Anything not mentioned here may be distributed as you feel is best, but should be done so reasonably.
 ===Mailing===
-It is unlikely that you will ever be asked to do so, but you may be asked to mail a package for someone. The methods of doing so will be explained in the '''Equipment''' section.
+Mailing will allow you to distribute packages through the disposals system. However, lockers, when mailed, will be flung from the disposals fairly violently, so take care. The process for mailing is as follows:

-==Equipment==
+===Reloading ship weapons===
-As a technician, you have a wide array of tools to help you supply the station, and distribute orders and warehouse goods.
+On specific occasions, you may be ordered to reload [[Guide to Gunnery#The Francisca|The Francisca]], [[Guide to Gunnery#The Longbow|The Longbow]], and the
