Systems
COMMS
Your ship is equipped with a handful of channels for communication.
- Channel Open: initiating contact with unknown ships
- Channel 1: private communications
- Other Channels: multi-purpose, setup as needed during docking procedures etc.

Fuel Cells serve as backups to the Reactor Core (LEN).

The ship temperatures are managed by 2x systems:
- the Radiator/Coolant Pumps
- the Radiation Balanced Laser Cooler bypasses (RBLC)

Activate Reactor Core (LENR)
Activating the Reactor Core requires permission from the port you are docked with.

Using the MTS super heated plasma thrusters is forbidden within a space-station (because it may cause injury to the station/personnel). For this reason you may temporarily activate the less efficient cold-gas propulsion system.
