If a post/thread discussing any form of balance doesnt get 5+ hearts, its creator receives a server ban for a week.
I love democracy.

Remove mining. Provide no replacement.

That just means the explorers have to go mining instead like the old days before Lavaland

Randomly remove departments.
Don’t like security? Just remove it from the map!

in a similar vein, replace every map with RandomStation, a new map that uses the random maints spawning system to randomly spawn preexisting department maps into space, and then match job slots to the number of spawnpoints for each job.
Additionally, enforce no filter on how many of each department spawns. 6 cargos station. Four sciences and two medbays. Security Ethnostate Station. The possibilities are endless!

Fortunately your idea has been superseded by an even better one years ago- some jobs are literally required for the game to function, like the bartender, who is the head of service. This is why even extremely small maps like the >10 pop ones on NSV still have a bartender. Finally, a good change.
The stock parts in a machine can individually fail.
The function of the machine tied to that part degrades or stops but the machine itself shows no outward sign.
The odds of this happening increase with frequency and intensity of use, ambient atmospheric conditions, and the tier of the part (For Example, T4 is barely understood bleeding edge tech and hasn’t been ruggedized like the old standby T1 tech)
this is crapola because it would be complicated to code it and only make the game less fun

What is the meta way to power a station with no engineering and no cargo?
50 pacman fueled by 10 unpaid miners constantly mining plasma, preferrably held at gun point by a nearby Gygax mech.

How do you get miners without cargo?
yellow power cells or botany potatoes
force a scientist to actually be useful for once and replace APC cells with yellow extracts laced with plasma
Simple. Miners aren’t part of Cargo, they are part of Supply. 
However, if you don’t want miners. Then have a bunch of Xenobiologists provide either tons of plasma or tons of yellow cells to the station. Held at gun point of course.
Once you get Ceruleans, you’re basically self-sustaining.
Add a “Motivator” job that holds people at gun point to “Motivate” them, whilst being held at gun point himself of course.

Too many captains are too soft on things like fulfilling bounties or crew not doing their jobs. Add am Official Nanotransen representative to Command division. The captain has the job of keeping the station running, and the Nanotransen Representative has the opposing goal of advancing the interests of the Company.
Think a combination of Burke from Aliens, a Zampolit from the Soviet navy, and a Comissar from the Warhammer 40k Astra Militarium
