Curufin does think of Peter as a party animal, though not so much a disaster kid. (Maybe because he doesn't know him well enough.) But he has always believed that Peter is competent.

He, too, is working on repairs, having to rely heavily on the station technicians for information and collaboration, since even though he knows electrical and mechanical engineering, he learned it in another context than space applications. He does understand power generation, however.

He, too, has his notebook as well as his satchel full of his own tools and quite a few borrowed from the stations techies.

"Hmm, I hadn't thought of that -- altering the density of the field in the different shield sections. I guess that would work, so long as it's possible to change it quickly in case the Empire fighters notice that their fire isn't having as much effect as they expected and go around to the other side and start shooting."

He considers the matter of the guns. "Laser guns, I think. I suppose it would be a good idea to have the option of remote control, rather than leaving it completely to the gunners. If their section is hit and they are killed or wounded but the guns themselves are still functional, it might be a good idea to be able to take control from another part of the station."

Offering his logic, though it isn't based on exact knowledge of the station and its procedures.
