Fact: The SM frequently delaminatesrabbit wrote:what's the tldr?
Viewpoint A: The SM frequently delaminating is bad, not just for engineering but for all the players on the station and the game, so solutions are needed to make this less likely (this is the premise of this thread)
Viewpoint B: Frequent SM delaminations are a player problem, therefore engineering frequently turning into a giant hole to space is an acceptable, if not desirable, outcome and part of the game
Under viewpoint A: Frequent delaminations are a result of the inherent atmos-nature of the engine mechanics and not-atmos-tech playerbase inability to operate atmos. Therefore, for station engineers, the main engine should not be the SM, and should be replaced by something else entirely if not the singulo/tesla. The topic suggestion works but is bad from a game design standpoint because it relies on moonlighting from not-engineers for the engineering engine to operate correctly.
Under viewpoint B: Just come to terms with the SM delaminating frequently and tell anyone who don't like the SM delaminating to get over it. The topic suggestion is not needed in the first place, and is still bad for the aforementioned reasons.
