Assistants, also known as midshipmen are rank and file crewmembers of the NSV. Midshipmen are one of the most versatile assets that a naval vessel can possibly have. You should read [[New Players|''the tutorial'']] before starting if you are new to SS13. Welcome aboard, crewman.
  
Assistants are the most versatile and expendable workers (read: looters) on the station. Their numbers are plentiful, they have no responsibility and are prone to breaking into secure areas and running off with anything not bolted to the floor. They are recommended to new-comers who have [[New Players|''read the tutorial''.]] There may be an unlimited (read: 10.000) amount of assistants at any one time.

All assistants or midshipmen get assigned to one of the four squads shiftstart: Duff, Butter, Apple and Grape. All squad members get a pager which allows them to communicate with the rest of their squad. It can be accessed by holding it in your hands and typing '':f'' infront of anything you want to say. In addition to being in a squad, you also get assigned a role within the squad. You have the option of becoming a squad leader, a squad medic, a squad engineer or just one of the grunts. A guide to being in a squad can be found [[Squads|here.]]
  
Assistants start in [[Primary Tool Storage]], where they can acquire some basic tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches. Normally there is a mad dash at the beginning of the shift for goods such as budget insulated gloves and belts.

Assistants will almost never give up their gray jumpsuit. They will wear it as their identification card if they please, and will keep doing so 'till the bitter end. They know when to or not to report crimes depending on the color of the jumpsuit of the criminal. Assistants will never give up on another assistant due to an unspoken brotherhood that ties every assistant together. The [[Clown]] and to a degree the [[Mime]] also apply.

Assistants, also known as midshipmen are rank and file crewmembers of the NSV. Midshipmen are one of the most versatile assets that a naval vessel can possibly have. You should read the tutorial before starting if you are new to SS13. Welcome aboard, crewman.

All assistants or midshipmen get assigned to one of the four squads shiftstart: Duff, Butter, Apple and Grape. All squad members get a pager which allows them to communicate with the rest of their squad. It can be accessed by holding it in your hands and typing :f infront of anything you want to say.

Actually Assisting People[edit | edit source]

If you are a midshipman and wish to actually assist people, you can try asking over the radio if anyone needs help with anything. This may or may not work. You can also approach people in person, which has a higher chance of success. Live out your dreams of being a 22-year-old coffee bitch intern IN SPACE! Or, a buff grunt that does the dirty work.

Duties? What Duties?[edit | edit source]

Midshipmen are usually the most aware personnel on the ship due to the fact they're constantly on the move. You'll find that that midshipmen make great informants and security details!

Due to the lack of responsibility, you'll usually find that midshipmen are the ones responsible for getting in bar fights, building cloning stations in firefighting closets, converting the dorms into firing ranges, and all other sorts of wacky projects and games.

On a battleship, we need every person at the ready! As such, every person with a non-combat job is organized into a Squad. These squads get easy jobs to help with keeping the ship and the crew in one piece. But usually the people who have actual jobs just dont care about squad duties.

Ghost in the System[edit | edit source]

It's easy to stay under the radar as a midshipman, as you have the second least-respected job on the ship (aside from that other guy). You have maintenance access, but to go anywhere else you need to be creative. Loot a belt and budget insulated gloves from Primary Tool Storage if you can and set out!

The number one advantage of traitor midshipman is your opponent's arrogance. Security and other crew members will typically assume you are inexperienced or stupid, so surprise them with your knowledge of the game's mechanics.

This doesn't mean you won't run into a particularly savvy security member who knows the potential danger of a midshipman, though. Keep alert at all times. In the rare case that someone actually asks you to assist them, draw them into a quiet place and execute them.
