Ratchet is a dyed in the wool engineer. He's had no formal training (so it might be fun for him to learn a thing or two from the more academically learned engineers/programmers), but he's been working on this kin of thing since he was a kid with a biological knack for it vis-à-vis his species. His area of expertise is wiring and hardware. Give him gruntwork like stripping wires (he'll complain, but he'll do it... probably) or have him take on some actually difficult projects that require a conceptual bent, he's the kind of engineer that will try a lot of different things that might be outside the realm of efficiency but might also open unforeseen doors. His programming code is messy af to someone who has actually been taught how to do it, but that's it's own sort of fun. What, you don't name your programming variables over cute girls? whatever.
He's also had a separate project on board the ship where he's been modifying existing taskbots and reworking their programming/hardware for various purposes. If given direction with this project, he might focus in that freeform experimenting to a staff of taskbots that can run routine maintenance on the completed network? Might be fun!
But basically, I'm pretty open to anything, I just really want to get Ratchet involved in things more his skill-set, and feeling like he's helping in some way!
