The Security Pod Pilot's job is to pursue suspects that roam in space with your Security Space Pod, away from the trusty hands of your fellow Security Officers, patrol the space nearby, scouting for hull damage or other dangers, keeping the station safe from any troublemakers, traitorous engineers, and the enemies.
Equipment
Here is a list of stuff that the security pod pilot spawns with:
- A space pod. You wander the skies around the station in this, your trusty space pod, keeping the crew from harm from all the nasty aliens that live out there.
- A space suit. You need this in case your pod somehow explodes.
-Note: You can find suit converters for different species to the left of the pod bay.
- A security locker. Along with the standard security gear, here is also a laser module for your pod.
- Laser module. For emergencies that need some firepower from space.
- O2 canister. Fill up your jetpack/ oxygen tanks with this.
- Jetpack. Makes it even easier to navigate space if/ when your pod explodes.
- Recharger/ 2 battery cells. Use these to keep your pod charged and ready.
- Toolbox with tools. Needed for repairs and changing out parts.
Starting Out
The Security Pod Pilot starts out in the Eastern side of Security. They kit up in this area and they have access to breathing apparatus as they are in space most of the time. Just above their spawn is the area where the pod is. Feel free to change into your space suit/ fill up your oxygen tank/ figure out your loadout. Once that's done, head into your pod by click dragging your sprite to the pod (Similar to a mech.). From here, use the 'Open pod door' button on your space pod tab, and fly into space. Your aim here is to fly around the station and make sure everything is in order. That's really all there is to it, unless you actually run into something you can't handle.
Traitoring
As the security pod pilot, not many people have the speed that you possess. And even if the mechanic builds their own pod, guess who has the authority?
Your access is not very extensive, but you can possess (or steal away!) most of the weapons that security has, which may be enough to complete your objectives.
If you are caught to explain what you're doing snooping around, or being so far away from your pod, you could get away by saying that you were off-duty and was bored (generally true), or that you were looking for an escaping suspect, with no time to waste!
