Workstation on Spacecraft Module
Purpose
Most modules require a crew to operate. Workspaces are locations where the crew can operate the module.
Classification
Workspaces are divided into tactical, engineering, and scientific types. The total value of all workspaces of the module for the given attribute is always applied.
Tactical
Affects the accuracy of installed weapon fire.
Engineering (Technical)
Affects the reload speed of installed weapons.
Affects the efficiency of collection in gathering modules.
Scientific
Affects the efficiency of downloading and saving signals.
Requirements
Minimum TES
Workspaces have maximum and minimum TES values. A minimum T, E, or S value means that a crew member with a lower value cannot operate the workspace.
Maximum TES
The maximum T, E, or S value determines the highest attribute value that an astronaut assigned to the workspace can apply.
Value Calculation
The resulting value is calculated as the sum of the astronaut’s attribute value (capped by the workspace’s maximum) + the astronaut’s level.
Modules that are only partially staffed may suffer a penalty to the total value, depending on the proportion of unoccupied workspaces of that type.
