    Used Starship Systems

    So my players need a new jump drive for their ship after an unfortunate incident destroyed their existing one. They will have to buy a used one and I was trying to come up with some quirks/issues with the new 'used' drive. Came up with some quirks and wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas...

    Fabrication Chamber - Math

    So, your TL13 fabrication chamber can produce it's stated volume in 1 hour. The standard workshop can hold a 100 liter fab for an output of 100 liters per hour. A displacement ton is 13.5Kl or 13500 liters. At the rate of 100 liters per hour, it would take the standard workshop fab chamber 135...

    Jump drive cycle time

    Thank you, that's what I was trying to pull up from the fathomless depths of my memory...

    Jump drive cycle time

    I seem to remember reading somewhere that you have to give a jump drive time to 'cool down' before you can jump again even if you already have enough fuel and the course laid in. Is that right, and if so, where is this discussed? Thanks.

    Robot Brain for Turret Control

    You could, if money isn't an issue. 300KCr will pay a gunner's salary for 25 years and, hopefully, they can do more than just shoot a turret... but then you have to pay life support and give the gunner a place to sleep... We typically have a lot of automation in my campaign simply because the...

    Repairing high-tech ships

    So let's say you have a TL15 ship that gets heavily damaged at Junidy in the Aramis subsector of the Spinward Marches. The nearest TL15 planet is many (10+) parsecs away. What are your thoughts on repairing it, assuming you have run out of the spare parts you brought with you? Mine are as...

    Signal Processing Systems

    Do the bonuses with Signal Processing Systems (High Guard p.56) stack with the base bonuses from the sensors or replace them (like Countermeasures do)? So would someone with Advanced sensors and Enhanced Signal Processing get +6 to Lock Sensors or just the +4? For that matter, can these be used...

    Cargo Loading rates?

    That's basically what I did, but was wondering if there was a more systematic approach available somewhere...

    Cargo Loading rates?

    We recently ran into a scenario where it was important to know how long it took for a speculative cargo lot to arrive and then how long it took to load the cargo onto the ship. I could not find anything that discusses this. Does anyone know if/where something like this is addressed? The only...

    CSC Fabrication Chamber vs. Robot Handbook Lab Fabrication Chamber

    Thank you for the clarification!

    CSC Fabrication Chamber vs. Robot Handbook Lab Fabrication Chamber

    In the Robot Handbook pg. 121 it states that the Improved Robotics Lab Fabrication Chamber can make a Primitive robot brain at Improved and a Basic robot brain at Enhanced. However, on p. 8 of the CSC it says that a Fabrication Chamber can make a Primitive, Basic, or Hunter/Killer at Improved...

    Newbie question - End of a failed career

    Typically you complete all the terms you want before adventuring. However, your GM may have you start the campaign mid-career if he's wanting you to remain in the career (for example, a naval campaign where everyone is still in the navy). For your specific scenario, it's either all or nothing...

    Robots - Centurion

    Thanks for helping. Is there a spot where I can download more of those completes worksheets?

    Robots - Centurion

    Thanks! On your spreadsheet I don't see the Satellite Uplink. If that was not supposed to be there, then removing that and applying the changes you state will fix it.
