In other words, if you try to remove an armed shell that's loaded into the MAC, it'll blow up and probably kill you. If it ''doesn't'' kill you, it'll definitely lead to a demotion.

			===[[Supermatter Engine]]===
			The NSV Astraeus' onboard powerplant is a thermo-electric generator with a supermatter shard powering the hot loop. As a quick reminder, the Supermatter emits plasma and heat when you hit it with an emitter, and that heat is what turns the hot loop. The cold loop is cooled by space to somewhere just above absolute zero. It is discussed more in-depth in [[Supermatter Engine\|the guide.]]

			If left unattended, the supermatter shard can easily overheat. Overheating is bad, as it causes it to delaminate: If it delaminates, it explodes - violently - and you're left with a hole where the engine used to be, and an irradiated engine bay. '''Of course, if it all hits the fan, you could always eject the supermatter shard''' - albeit with risks to your employment status for letting it get to the point to where it would need to be ejected in the first place.

+So, after years of working on the same old stations you got bored. You wanted something new and thus decided to join the crew of NSV Astreaus on their dangerous voyage through space. Well, you're in the right place as this guide will tell you everything there is to know about FTL13 and its mechanics.
-==Items==
+Most jobs on FTL13 are the same, an engineer is still repairing the ship and scientists are still doing their normal routines (for now). However, FTL13 adds some new mechanics that you should know about and understand before you take any command roles or FTL13 exclusive roles like Bridge Officer. And for that reason, this guide will explain all these new or changed mechanics.
-Different things which aren't on, say, /tg/ like phase cannons and bridge equipment
-==Mechanics==
+==FTL13==
-Different mechanics like the MAC cannon
+FTL13 is an SS13 codebase which takes inspiration from the highly acclaimed game Faster Than Light (FTL). And although we take inspiration from FTL, the game still holds up many of the values that SS13 has to offer instead of turning into a full carbon copy of FTL. The crews are still the size, but everything will be far more compact, resources are scarcer, and the crew won't just have other players to worry about this time. One of the biggest changes this codebase has is that rather than a "stationary" station, this codebase has a ship. This ship can jump from system to system, land on planets, engage NPC ships in combat and salvage said ships for loot. This changes a lot in the way the game works and gives the game a completely different vibe, as the crew now has to work together to tackle obstacles the station faces rather than just having internal conflicts.
