Back To Basics: Main Engineering Development

Description

“Engineering??! I thought you’d never ask!”

– Montgomery Scott

Area Creation / Development – BF Wiki article updates

The Operations Office challenges members to write a description of the following areas for their primary fiction commands.

On the BF Wiki under the article for your primary command, create or develop the section for your Main Engineering. Entries will be judged on how much detail is included based on what someone would see and hear when they enter the room.  Including an image(s) will further assist with points.

If the bridge is the brain of a ship, then main engineering would easily be the heart of it. Each one is different in size and shape, depending on the class of the vessel. Nevertheless, every one includes the ship’s main warp core and controls for various other systems.  Consider the following questions/areas when writing your description:

  • How does your command’s engineering look different to other ships in the fleet, or are there some similarities?
  • How would your chief engineer describe their workplace? What exciting points would they share?
  • Where is warp core located? What is its size? Describe what it sounds like when in use.
  • How many decks does engineering cover? How does one go from one to the next?
  • How many stations are located around the room? What are their functions?
  • How does one enter engineering? Are there any other access points?
  • Are there any other exciting and noteworthy elements that a visitor would see?

Entries will be judged on how much detail is used to describe the room – making the reader really believe they understand where everything is and why. Each point will be judged out of a set number of points, and an extra ten points will be awarded for how detailed the description is.

Criteria

  • Following the BF Wiki guidelines, you should write each entry in the third person and the past tense.
  • Entries must be a valid link to the BF wiki article.
  • Your entry about main engineering should be no more than five hundred words.
  • The warp core’s location, size, and what it sounds like when used: 10 points
  • Physical arrangements of engineering (e.g. how many decks, consoles, access tunnels and points, etc.): 20 points
  • Members can use images to assist with their entries: 10 points
  • How detailed is the overall description: 10 points
  • Total points: 50

Main Engineering - Main engineering spans Decks 1 to 3 of the USS Daradax and is very similar to that of all Raven-class vessels with little room for variation or change given the confines of the vessel. The size of engineering is due to the warp core which extends from deck 3 all the way up to deck 1 with the main open room for engineering covering the two middle Decks: 2 and 3. The crew are able to easily move between the three decks using the engineering access lift which goes from deck 3 all the way to deck 1.

Deck 1 houses the Intermix Monitoring room and provides access to the injector control terminal, the core, the matter injectors as well as the matter filter and Deuterium storage tanks. In addition to this, the ship's graviton generators and subspace amplifiers are located here.

Deck 2, the upper level of the main engineering, provides access to the engineer catwalk which looks down onto Deck 3. On this floor, there are various engineering consoles if space is needed. Additionally, the main bracers for the ware core are located on this floor as well as the upper levels of the coolant tanks.

Deck 3 is the main floor of engineering and where a crew member would find the main entrance. Here you will find the master systems display, the engineering office as well, and the warp core reaction chamber along with the lower levels of the core coolant tanks. Additionally, on this deck, you will find the port and starboard impulse access rooms and the nacelle control rooms through the main Jefferies tubes.
