The Power Distribution System (PDN) has been deployed. This is the first major engineering system to become available.

The PDN is one of the systems we’ve previewed in blogs and because of its complexity – impacting every other system on the vessel – it’s taken some time to complete.

For most non-engineers the first you’ll notice of the PDN is the appearance of a POWER button on consoles (or tapping an existing POWER button now does something).

Or if you don’t have enough power, the grey background on the system’s power slider will shrink and you’ll find you can’t move the slider beyond that point. That’s when you’ll need to talk to a friendly engineer and have them allocate you more power, which they'll do using new PDN consoles.

If you’re interested in engineering as a career, a training course is in development at the Academy and will be available soon.
