"No, no! THIS goes there, THAT goes there, GOT IT!"

**chuckles** Seriously, I can almost hear the mechanic grumbling...

Well, that was pretty much what I was thinking when I drew it. The starship operations section of the game has an extensive malfunction table that can best be avoided by a skilled engineer with a got set of tools and diagnostic equipment. The ship's engineer is essential.

the section needed a good illustration so I came up with this. Zym provided the excellent rendering work, being more skilled behind the pen than I.

Heh heh heh... most of what I know of engineering came from watching Han and Chewie working on the Falcon, so I'm probably not the one to be commenting on engineering matters **chuckles**. When working on anything, I'm a big fan of 'ercussive maintenance', ie, 'hit it until it works'.

Nice work on both ends, for the both of you. Conceptually, it works, and visually, it works. Excellent, as always.

I've been an ambulance fleet mechanic for a decade. Worked on tanks before that.

An old saying comes to mind-
"If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway."

**chuckles** Nice saying; I have several mechanic friends, and that seems to be their assessment of just about any mechanical problem. I never know if they're kidding or not...
