Q

SIC

A

Station In Control

IPMS signals and devices are organized into SIC groups.

To control any equipment within an SIC group, the user must be logged in and have the appropriate SIC privilege.

SIC groups include:

Thrust*
Propulsion
Ancillary
Auxiliary
Electrical*
Damage
Damage Control - Auxiliary
Damage Control Plot

*Have take privilege
