Refits & Repairs
Refits
Section titled “Refits”-
Whenever possible, the shuttle console, APC, and other critical hardware should be relocated to whichever section of the ship will be farthest from enemy weapons. Typically this will be the rear or center of the ship.
-
Girders and other obstacles can be installed at critical locations to slow down boarders.
-
Hollow sections of the ship can be filled with reinforced walls. Consider removing unnecessary furniture to make room.
-
Adding additional thrusters will improve your ship’s acceleration and maneuverability, but not max speed.
-
Consider having redundant portable generators ready in case your ship’s main power generation is damaged.
Repairs
Section titled “Repairs”-
If your shuttle console gets destroyed, your ship is dead. You may be able to use other consoles like the targeting computer, but you won’t be able to fly anywhere.

See the Space Station 14 wiki’s explanation of power systems to understand how generators, substations, and APCs are wired together and used to power other devices.
