Some of us WANT engineering to be the way CIG is doing it
Take a look at that picture. That is from a 1991 space sim game called Hyperspeed. That screen shows the various internal systems of your ship. The grey spaces on the far right are where you'd store spare parts. When your ship got damaged, sometimes parts in the main area would get damaged and become unusable, so you had to come to this screen and replace them.
Some of us f$@(*^#ing loved Hyperspeed and its unprecedented way of approaching ship damage and repairs. Some of us have been waiting more than 30 years for another space-sim game to implement something like this.
I'm sorry some of y'all think engineering in SC is going to be dumb, boring busywork, but some of us are ecstatic that we finally get a modern space sim where get to frantically swap and/or repair parts in our ship while stuff is blowing up around us.
