This guide describes efficient patterns of power allocation and rerouting for Aegis Engineering Command Station.

Names of patterns were created with a sole purpose of being efficient at a cost of beforehand memorisation. They do not represent most role-play or Star Trek canon-friendly names.

The logic of pattern names:

1.1) Shortening of Main Subsystem Power names will allow for a faster issuing of orders and minimisation of order mishearing accidents :

• "Phaser Range" is shortened to "P".
  
• "Shield Level" is shortened to "S".
  
• "Engine Power" is shortened to "N". *

*Letter "E" [i] is not used for "Engine Power" shortening because it is inevitably used as a sound in pronouciation of a letter "P" [pi:] which can lead to mishearing confusion.

1.2) If voice communication system seems to malfunction it is recommeded to switch NATO Phonic spelling method.

P - PAH-PAH
S - SEE-AIR-RAH
N(E) - ECK-OH (Switching to N from E is not neccessery for this procedure)

R - ROW-ME-OH

1 - WUN
2 - TOO
3 - TREE
4 - FOW-ER
5 - FIFE


2) When ordering a pattern the priority goes to the Main Subsystem that was called out first. Secondery Power priority goes to the Main Subsystem that was called out second.

3) An "-R" suffix indicates an order to use unstable rerouting pattern for overload of a Main Subsystem that was prioritised above others with metigation of power loss to the Main Subsystem that was set to second priority.

An efficient pattern for Command Stations on standby for a possible Impulse Travel. One such case would be when Captain does not have enough information to decide whether Escape or Confrontation would be more efficient respond to a current situation.

An efficient pattern for a direct confrontation against multiple light hostile ships in cases when Shield is up but System Intrusion is unavaliable.

Due to inefficiency of having an additional hollow power node in Engine Power it is advised to re-allocate it into Shield Level. Which turns pattern "P -R" into pattern "P S -R".

An efficient pattern for confrontation with engaging hostile ship with use of System Intrusion for bypass of hostile ships shield frequency with an aim to deal damage to their Hull when Shield is on.

An efficient pattern for navigating through a section that is contaning large amount of Gravitic Mines.

An efficient pattern for confrontation with a hostile ship with use of System Intrusion for bypass of hostile ships shield frequency with an aim to deal damage to their Hull while undetected or when Shield is off.

An efficient pattern for navigating through a section with Volatile Objects and Anomalies that damage hull integrity and/or subsystems.

Inefficient pattern due to overcharge of Shield Level is not being supplemented with either sufficient Phaser Range for a tactical advantage nor with sufficient Engine Power for an attempt to dodge torpedos of a hostile ship.

Pattern "S P" is proven Inefficient when compared to pattern "P S". Which accoplishes to provide better Phaser Range without a power loss of other Main Subsystems.

Same result achieved by the pattern "N S".

Pattern "N P" is proven Inefficient when compared to pattern "P N". Which accoplishes to provide better Phaser Range without a power loss of other Main Subsystems.

Same result achieved by the pattern "S N".
