Playing an AENG, Assistant Engineering Officer, or a CENG, Chief Engineering Officer, is both fun and
rewarding.
There are a few basics that everyone should know who plays an engineer.
You can break the process down
into four steps:
Depending on the people you play with, it can be
considered important or a sign of a good Star Trek engineer if you throw in
a few words (or pages) of tech babble at every step listed above.
Links are provided below to help you find real world science techbabble,
specialized trekbabble and other methods to be creative and
invent your very own techbabble.
1. Examine
a. Visually inspect and scan
b. Run Diagnostics
c. Ask others what happened, if applicable
d. Check for environmental and system related
clues
e. Look up tech and trek babble
The first thing you must
do is scan and run diagnostics. Diagnostics are programs that check
out parts of a system.
Simmers could then IM the person
running the scene or their department head to learn what it means or what
to do if they had the need. The same scene can be run for the different levels
of experience. On the USS Eagle we try to match these up with each simmer's
level of experiences and interests. In this manner beginning and advanced
players can sim together.
The amount of detail you give
in looking will help you get more detail for playing
the part.
If there is something covering what you
might need to work on or that can interfere with scans or diagnostics
and you do not remove it, you may not learn information necessary
to repair it.
1a.Scans
There are no shortage of scans in Star Trek, real
life or your imagination that you could use as an AENG or CENG Here are a few:

For the sim/RPG doc it's best
to have a handy dandy chart based on use for a tool.
