The armory is located on the left side of the security sector, surrounded with reinforced walls and with two door entrance.. The armory has a separate area for specialized armor and sniper rifle along with one of each ammo type for the sniper. Requires Armory access to enter.
This is where the most important weapons are kept like [[Security items#Energy Gun|energy guns]] and [[Security items#WT-550 Assault Rifle|automatic rifles]]. The armory is not that secure and can be easily breached if you know how to destroy reinforced walls. The armory is also a common target for traitors looking to arm themselves, with the most vulnerable area being the western wall, which is accessible from maintenance tunnel.

People who break into the armory are usually given harsh sentences, ranging from a long time in the [[brig]] to [[Prison Wing|permabrigging]] or execution.

Inventory includes

===Weaponry===
*Three energy guns
*Three laser guns
*Three WT-550 Assault Rifles
*One ion rifle
*Three riot shotguns
*Sixteen additional Shotgun Shells
*Four WT-550 magazines (Lethal)
*A box of Tear Gas Grenades
*A box of Flashbang Grenades

===Armour===
*Two security hardsuits
*Three security helmet

===Secure===
*Sniper rifle
*One magazine of each Sniper Rifle ammo (Tranquilizer, Hollow Point and Armor Piercing)
*One bulletproof armor vest
*One Ablative armor vest

===Miscellaneous Items===
*One portable flasher and a wrench to secure them
*Evidence bag box
*Secure briefcase
*A box of handcuffs

The armory is unsurprisingly a prime target for [[traitor]]s and [[Assistant|fools]], and it is the job of the Master-at-Arms to watch over it. Breaking in or trespassing is justification for [[Space Law|permanent incarceration]] or even summary execution if the violator proves to be dangerous.

==Gaining Entry==

If you're looking to gain entry to the armory for [[Traitor|no reason in particular]], you can get done with it fairly easy compared to other armories. It is possible to get the MA's permission to gain entry if you're a security officer, but for any other class you're probably going to have to break in. Luckily, armory is fairly near the main hallway and a maintenance tunnel, destroying the western armory walls is probably the easiest option.

If you want to try your chances, you can [[Hacking|hack]] your way in, which can be difficult since it would mean hacking three doors before even reaching armory doors. You can also wait for enemy ship to breach the armory in a hellish barrage of MAC cannon fire.

The dorms area is perfect for hiding the loot but you can use your workplace lockers, too.

Guide to Bridge Officer

2016-11-07T13:47:42Z

WarlordToby:

==You are the Bridge Officer!==
Naturally the [[Captain|captain]] cannot press every single button on the [[Bridge|bridge]] himself, so Centcom has employed multiple [[Bridge Officer|HIGHLY TRAINED OFFICERS]] to press the buttons for him. When you join you will be automatically assigned a station to man. However, this is not a formal assignment so you and the other officers may switch places at will. This may sound dull, but worry not, many fun things await you!

===The Chain of Command===
As a bridge officer you are not part of command staff like the Captain or HOP. You are on the same level as a standard department crewman, but you work on the bridge. Thus you must obey orders from all heads of staff, and your fancy uniform does not give you permission to order other people around.

In times of crisis the order of succession is Captain->[[Head of Personnel|HOP]]->[[Chief Engineer|Chief Engineer]]->Bridge Officer. The HoS cannot command both the ship and its security at the same time, and the CMO’s location is in Medical healing others. However, as a head of staff you should probably listen to them, but in the end you have authority over the bridge if the line of succession leads to you.

==Bridge Stations==
===Navigation Console===
[[File:Helms_status.png|200px|thumb|right|One of the two main screens you'll be staring at.]]
This console is how you move the ship to various locations. You can click on different circles on the map. Each circle represents a solar system, each with multiple celestial bodies. Different colors correspond to different factions. When you click on them it opens a menu where you can jump to the system and see more info. At the top you can click the "Show Map" tab to view the map of the current solar system. Clicking on planets lets you see if there are any points of interest. Note that it might be a good idea to ask Captain for location to jump to. In combat you should stay near the computer for emergency jumps. '''Remember:'''Inform the crew before you jump so they can get back on the ship or get busy things done such as prisoner moving.

*Blue systems are NanoTrasen controlled
*Orange systems are Pirate controlled
*Red systems are Syndicate controlled

*Ringed planets have asteroids for miners to mine.
*Orbital Platforms are trading stations.
*Lava planets can be landed on.
*Gas Giants are worthless (For now)

The Captain’s orders determine where you should be going, as well as the mission assignment. Your ship has a max range for jumps, so you need to plan the best route to travel to faraway locations.

===Tactical Console===
[[File:Weapons_console.png|200px|thumb|right|Normally there'd be ships here on the screen, in the Targeting section. You'd click them to target them.]]
This console is everything in ship combat. You can see your shields, your weapons systems, and the location of other ships in the system. Not all ships are hostile, but if you shoot at a neutral or friendly vessel, expect to start an intergalactic war.

When looking at enemy vessels, be sure to note their location. If they are not at the same planet/nav beacon you are, then you are out of range and your shots will do nothing. Also, when firing at enemy ships, you can select various subsystems to target. Damaging and destroying these hinder the enemy ships. Destroying the shields makes it so they cannot block your shots, destroying the engines reduces their evasion, etc. Also note that where you target determines the state of the salvageable wreck. If you shoot the bridge, don’t expect to get much out of it. Use this strategically to salvage certain items (weapons, etc) for your ship! Note that it is a good idea to ask Captain where to fire and what to keep intact.

===Crew Monitoring Console===
Exactly the same as the one is medical. Its uses are limited except for shouting at people whose suit sensors are disabled. Use this console to coordinate medical staff during a battle. You can expect the Chief Medical Officer to be manning this station.

===Engineering Console===
Used to monitor power usage and generation. Expect this to heavily change after the power revamp.
Chief Engineer may man this position.

===Security Console===
If the HOS wants to be on the bridge, he will probably use this one.

==I am bored. What now?==
When you are in FTL or waiting on miners to mine ores, things can get boring. Here are a few ideas on how to stay busy during the lulls in action.

*Shout at people to activate suit sensors.
*Shout at Research to upgrade the phase cannon.
*Shout at Engineering to increase power output/fix the engine core.
*Have the Chef bring you some food to eat.
*Have the Bartender bring everyone drinks and get super drunk.
*Find station pets and sacrifice them to the gods of war. The gods might appreciate this.
*If you have done everything on this list, then shout at the people outside to hurry up and prepare for departure.
*Repeat.

WarlordToby: Updated information. I still need some more info about the armory equipment.

People who break into the armory are usually given harsh sentences, ranging from a long time in the [[brig]] to [[Prison Wing|permabrigging]] or execution.
