    This is really amazing! I love the detailed walk-through and being able to see the whole cold-start process to startup all ships systems. That was really interesting.
    But - As a strong suggestion... I would really suggest some kind of a checklist (a Detailed checklist!) you could follow, like on a character-held device like a smartphone type device or a Padd device that can hold your Ships AI helpful info, checklists, all available help, whatever.
    This was a LONG and detailed technical procedure that requires everything to be done in a specific sequence, with nothing out of order. Definitely needs to be a checklist we can access and follow in order to do this correctly.
    Don't get me wrong, not criticizing at all, just offering a helpful constructive suggestion in order to be able to be successful at this.
    I can't wait to try this out and experience the roles onboard the ship!
    This was really interesting and good - Thanks for this!

  • @user-kh7zo2mk8x
    @user-kh7zo2mk8x Місяць тому +22

    I love the attention to detail, but this is the one area where things kind of fall apart. There really should be a control room in engineering where all of those disparate control panels are aggregated. They don't have to be on the same panel, but they should be in the same room. Unless there is some other system available for monitoring all of that, this is going to lead to poor situational awareness, which is why Three Mile Island incident occurred.

    • @TiJayFLY
      @TiJayFLY  Місяць тому +15

      I can’t speak for the developer, but my understanding as a backer is that this is designed for immersion and multi-crew gameplay, whilst still retaining a realistic process.
      You’re absolutely right that this would realistically be in one room, but it wouldn’t be sci-fi if you didn’t have engineers down in the bowels of the ship frantically flipping switches and yelling “she cannae make it captain!”

    • @kilodeltaeight
      @kilodeltaeight Місяць тому +6

      Given that this is a cold/dark startup, from an in-universe perspective, I'd expect that part of the issue here is that with all the power systems isolated and cut off, none of networking necessary for a centralized SCADA system would be online - thus requiring you to go to the actual equipment in question to ascertain its status and manually close the circuit breakers so everything can power up, ascertain its state, and "settle" into its usual running routine.
      Honestly, the most unrealistic thing here is that everything comes online as quickly as it does - given all this process entails, you'd expect everything to take quite some time to come up and sort itself out. A master situation display on the bridge and engineering decks would make a lot of sense, but in a situation like this you'd expect a lot of alarms due to different systems having no status available. You can see this behavior in a lot of safety critical systems: the default state is designed to be the safest, whilst the default alert is designed to be "assume the worst until proven otherwise".

    • @user-kh7zo2mk8x
      @user-kh7zo2mk8x Місяць тому +3

      @@kilodeltaeight Yup, all of engineering should be flashing like a disco at first with warnings and errors. Also, if there is enough power for automatic doors, there is enough for basic networking.
      I also agree that cooling a vessel that large would take far more time. Even in a world where FTL is a thing, thermodynamics is going to dictate it will take time to pump all that heat out.
      Honestly, I would suggest *mechanical* valves for certain things, and for the larger buses, physical contactors. That would not only be more visually appealing, but also more realistic - and explain why they are distributed around the deck.
      Still, I love the concept of this simulator. I have always wanted something like it, but most games that had elements of it eventually focused on combat and the most you got to explore was the cockpit. I'm excited about this simulator.

    @AleksSnipes Місяць тому +5

    There should definitely be a Master Control screen for power management either in the initial Startup power room or the Reactor room, and those sub-screens in the maintenance areas should be for local override/maintenance only. If you want the player to still know where these are, you could have a Master On function, and then have the player have to go to a certain one to manually reset a breaker that didn't engage properly (and preferably these would be hand-operated rather than screens). This is cool but a frankly ludicrous amount of walking/button-presses for a totally interconnected ship with digitized controls.

    • @ToddCorley65
      @ToddCorley65 Місяць тому +1

    It would be fun to speedrun this and see how fast you could get through it. Since everything is run by touchscreen, you think there would be one master display panel you could connect to to the various systems without running around. Of course, if everything required manual valve and switch controls then you would need to move from one room to the next.

    Hmm... seems to me that most of this should be performable from a single location, with a lot less moving around. Rather than having each set of controls for each quadrant in the four quadrants of the engine room, why not just have one console in engineering that shows all four quadrants side by side? Ditto for each of the other set of controls: a centralized spot with everything a crewmember needs to do their job, instead of having them run all over the ship.
    The interface seems more intuitive than LCARS, at least.

The robot didn't turn on the replicators or the pumps to bring the deuterium and helium from outside to inside, but in the vacuum of space, there are like less than 10 atoms of hydrogen per cubic meter, so I really think there's no getting those elements from outside. They must be made by the replicators, but the fusion reactor is not in yet, so how can the replicators make elements?

    There should be an administrative level command console in main engineering to negate the unnecessary need for physically running around the ship decks, turning on electrical switches each tucked away in alcoves, naves or nooks. If the start-up required manually operated hardware, via a mechanical means such as in the use of hard tripped electrical breakers, locked-in-place levers, and over tightened valves, and of course with dials turned to 11, then I could understand the need to be standing at each particular station, but since it's all electrical turnkeys well then this seems inefficient and burdensome? A bunch of bussybody work for a go-for or an intern to do rather than a top level officer.

The common spaces/ hallways are fine carpeted but engineering should always have that "clang clang clang" sound. It was weird in Star Trek when they had carpeting in engineering but only hard surfaces near the reactor core. I mean, it's engineering, there are fluids and fires, you don't want carpet in there. 🤔 I think it was more about audio production for the show, 8 engineers walking around would be a nightmare to shoot dialogue over.

      Well, the A-grav may be locked into a low-level backup system like the startup batteries so it remains active unless the backups take damage. As for the doors being open, its easy to program the doors to automatically remain locked open when the reactor gets shut down, unless there is a hull breach in which case they'd probably automatically close to seal the compartment.
