Nah, that sounds pretty stupid. There always was and there probably always will be solars and then a way to generate a lot of power, enough for the entire station. Else energy management just gets tedious. We need a power system that's easy to set up wwith our relatively low population.

[Man of Paper]

Diesel engine!

Power is easy to set up if there's one competent engineer at the start of the round. Getting the singularity working isn't that difficult, though it is dangerous. Messing up at certain stages can have lethal results.

There are also now cables running to the SMESs in Communications and the AI room so they can be recharged if needed.

There is an incredibly important reason why they are left unconnected from the main system. Plus, they like never run out because the rooms they power have an artificially low drain.

And why is that?

Also, why the fuck didn't I notice you killing the mime :/

[Darvi]

Because fuck mimes.

Also, he probably didn't have any sensors on.

Diesel engine!

What about a small HONK engine for when we have a clown instead of engineer.

Or maybe some sort of hydro electric generator? Something crazy at least.

Because fuck mimes.

I was braindead at the time, but I resent that sentiment.
I did have some interesting ideas planned before I logged out.

For note, as a traitor CE/Captain, you can so thoroughly seal off all the pods and such that it's a bit ridiculous. I haven't quite decided the best way to make the shuttle itself inaccessible, other than massive bombs/gunfire, but the Pods are easy to completely put out of service.

Step one: Go to a pod, to the inner most pod door. Have the RCD.
Step two: Build a wall inside the pod door, and the airlock door.
Step three: Weld the airlock door shut and E-mag it.
Step four: Wall inside the outer airlock door, weld and e-mag it.
Step five: Lather rinse repeat for all four pods (sec, engineer, two arrivals) 

This means, that if someone wants to get on a pod, they either have to break through TWO weld-emag-sealed doors and three walls, or they have to go to the front of the pod and bust through the windows, and if you put a wall in the first pod seat, then they can't even get in that way. You would need a few extra RCD matter cartridges to thoroughly seal the pods.
Reading the wiki, it would take 12 points of 'ammo' to put three walls in each pod entrance, or sixteen points of ammo to put in the 'optional' front seat wall. So. A single full clip for the RCD can put the pods out of decommission, and the emag will certainly make it even more likely no one will get to use the pods.

[miauw62]

And then you can fill the escape arm with plasma, if needs be. Mayby even steal a hand tele and move a beacon into one of the pods.

[Darvi]

I think the hand tele only ports you to active teleporters. Which, I guess, can port you to the beacon in turn.

[miauw62]

No, hand tele can port you to beacons. The only beacon configured at round start is the one in the bridge tough. Altough you can move it everywhere.

Is it possible to keep a station going indefinately, or are there certain things that will just run out:

For example, according to the wiki, atmospherics has some rooms full of high pressure oxygen and nitrogen.  Once those are depleted, is that it?

[Android]

All of the things that are impossible to replace on the station last for practically forever, so in essence it is possible to play a round indefinately

[Ivefan]

For example, according to the wiki, atmospherics has some rooms full of high pressure oxygen and nitrogen.  Once those are depleted, is that it?

I was the traitor yesterday and punctured those rooms. But the air circulating in the station was enough to not trigger any alarms for two hours before the shuttle was called for other reasons.
