View source for Standard Operating Procedure: Cargo

== '''Cargo Policy''' ==

==== Cargo Desk ====

* Cargo staff have the right to refuse any and all orders. This right should not be exercised without caution, and should be used in a professional manner. Priority should be made for urgent supplies rather than personal affections.
* Cargo staff should review whether or not someone has good reason for a weapon. Simply "for self-defense" is not good enough cause; one must also have a valid weapon's license issued by the acting HOP. 
* The Quartermaster has final say on all sales, projects, and distribution of items within their department. Departmental orders should however, be given to the ordering department within a reasonable timeframe; otherwise, with a strong reason (lethals unnecessary on green, et cetera).
* Sensitive crates (gasses, weapons, contraband-tier equipment) should be delivered expeditiously to the corresponding departments.

==== Mail Delivery ====

* Mail is a secondary task compared to the direct needs of those making supply orders.
* Additionally, given the tediousness of the task, mail should be considered optional and not forced in order to maintain a happy Cargo Bay.
* Disposals can be checked and scavenged for any remaining items post-destruction.
* Liquids being thrown down disposals is considered Negligence. If a fire starts, it is considered Gross Negligence.

==== Shaft Miners ====

* Miners may use whatever equipment is located down on Lavaland as they see fit. Security may restrict these items as contraband if they are otherwise misused via the offending party or distributed by said miner.
* Miners that choose to focus on solely fighting megafauna without providing any resources to the station can be considered derelict of their duties and safely demoted.
* Resources should generally be available to the station within a respectable time-frame (30 minutes of start), with a good supply and variety. Simply collecting only Iron and Glass is not adequate enough to finance the needs of the station. '''This is not a strong reason for demotion. Please consider all factors before using this as scrutiny.'''
* Priority should be made by the Mining staff to rescue any and all members of the team should one die. Given their equipment, Miners are best suited for this task.
* All miners should carry a GPS, denoted with their name logged in the sensor readout. For enhanced priority, starting with a "!" or "*" will result in quicker acquisition.
* Sensors should be maximized before beginning an expedition. Failure to do so may result in your corpse becoming unrecoverable.

== OOC Policy ==

* Gun cargo may be interpreted as [https://wiki.bubberstation.org/index.php?title=Rules#Roleplay_Rule_6:_Victory_is_Secondary&#x5B;17&#x5D; powergaming] depending on the use case. Constantly going round-to-round and ordering personal firearms may make this more likely to result in admin intervention.
* Likewise, miners should avoid becoming secoffs 2.0 unless in the case where it follows proper [https://wiki.bubberstation.org/index.php?title=Rules#Roleplay_Rule_2:_Intent_and_Escalation&#x5B;12&#x5D; escalation] rules or the situation has become dire to the point where the rest of the crew may be expected to help Security out. '''IT IS RECOMMENDED TO AHELP JUST INCASE YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE VALIDHUNTING, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A FREE TICKET TO VALID - IF YOU WANT TO BE SECURITY, PLAY 'EM'''
* Furthermore above, please keep mindful that Miner gear is powerful in a lot of situations and you should take due diligence when using it.
* Miners should at minimum provide either a method for constant station resource acquisition, or enough materials to last a decent portion of the round. If you sign up for a job, do it.
