Engineering Section

A ship’s Engineering section is the area inside the ship where the crew has access to the engines in order to work with them and repair them. It is normally as big as the engines, and has computers built in to it so engineers don’t need separate stations. However, sometimes ships may have computers located elsewhere, such as on the bridge, so that the engines can be controlled from elsewhere.
Ships don’t absolutely have to have Engineering rooms, but if they don’t, the engineer must be on the outside of the ship in order to work on the engines.
Size: Engines are normally one unit in size, multiplied by the size of the ship. Thus, if the ship is a Star Corvette (size 4), its engines would take up 4 units of space, and the engine room would take up 4 units of space.
Cost: Engineering rooms cost 500 per size of the Engineering room.
