Spacecraft Quirks - Typo?

[jwlovell]

Hi,

On page 188 of the 2022 Core Rulebook updated, the table Spacecraft Quirks has an entry:

"Severely Damaged: -1 Hull"

is that supposed to read like the other entry where -10% Hull damage? In other words:

"Severely Damaged: -1% Hull"

 

[AnotherDilbert]

I can only guess, but no-one will really notice Hull -1 or Hull -1%.

I would treat it as Hull -10%, or even worse as it a result of 2 on 2D.

 

[Condottiere]

It is severely damaged.

 

[MasterGwydion]

It is severely damaged.

and I would not say that 10% counts as "severely"

 

[Arkathan]

I read it as a Level 1 Critical hit to the hull, that would require more than just slapping on hull plates to remedy.
Like, a minor overhaul.

I could support that interpretation. I like it.

I suspect it was never updated from the MgT1 damage system....

 

[Condottiere]

Paper cuts hurt more.

Surprisingly few hull quirks.

I tend to think it should be more hardware based.

Reputation tends to be more background.

-1 hull means you have to operate the ship in vacc suits and the air conditioning doesn't work. And keep taking your anti-rad medication...

 

[jwlovell]

I like the Arkathan interpretation, I mean, the other column quirk when you have a 2 on a 2D roll is that radiation leak that is far more severe than a scratch on the hull, so getting a result that is a 2D roll for location (p. 169 of 2022 core book june 2024) and then whatever the corresponding Level 1 Severity, sounds perfect.

Well, I suppose the 'convertible' option I'm writing can apply to spacecraft too...

"-1 Hull"

So I guess if you have a ship with a double-hull, you have some staying-power, because you can always lose one . . .

It reminds me of the one Larry Niven Known Space story where they were in their ship with the "indestructible" Puppeteer GP Hull investigating a relativistic relative-velocity star-system, only to discover that it was an antimatter Star System, and that indestructible GP Hull material was made out of matter like everything else, and that the stellar-wind from the star caused, well . . . "-1 Hull"

 

[Condottiere]

Flying naked might be viable.

Armoured bulkhead anything crucial to structural integrity.
