Starwars - Starship Equipment

Table of Content

Home

General

With reference to new rules (second edition), equipment cannot be improved beyond 1 D + 2 and require a repair skill roll. This includes nearly all following listed.

Spending character points to improve or modify starships and their equipment is treated the same way as improving character skills. In old rules such items are believed to be unlikely lost during adventures.

Top

Repair Costs

Costs in price list are for new parts and include installation. If characters utilize used parts price can go down to 50%. If they supply themselves with parts installation costs can go down to 25 %. Selling removed parts will never bring more than 25%. Repairing damage themselves needs a repair bay, which costs 100 Cr. ^A

Top

Mundane Costs

Docking Fees vary. Standard class spaceports charge 50 Cr per day. A busy Imperial-class starports might charge 150 Cr per day. ^A

Top

Maintenance and Restocking

Restock and Maintenance includes replenishment of all fluids, gases and basic proteins. Air filters, firing cells and hyperdrive are basically inspected. The consumables are also restocked. Freighter captain can choose how much of these items will be restocked. Imperial services advice to restock to full capacity of a ship. ^A

Cost: 10 Cr x total capacity (crew & passengers) x "Consumables" (in days)

Top

Fuel

A standard light freighter carries 50 cells. Additional cells cost 500 Cr and weight 0.1 t each. Following prices are Standard starport class per cell! ^A

* The cells are only replaced by full ones.

Top

Overhaul

After 20 hyperjumps system failures may (will) occur, if the ship isn't overhauled. It costs 2,000 Cr plus costs of replacements parts. ^A

Top

Upgrades

Nearly all equipment can be upgraded. Here are the rules in the case this is done in a regular dock by someone else.

Hyperdrive Engines

* only on black market, installations cost 2,000 Cr.

Ion Drive (Sublight Speed) and new Move

During introduction of the second edition rules vehicle movement has been changed to an fixed amount. Rudimentary conversion chart is listed below. (+2 = uneven move)

Maneuverability

A +1-Pip-Increase (or 0D to 1D) takes no weight. It costs hull rating times the maneuverability dice desired (rounded down) times 100. Each increase must be purchased separately. ^A

Cost: hull rating x desired maneuver dice x 100 Cr

Hull

To increase a ship's hull by one pip, multiply the ship's hull rating to be achieved (rounded down) times 1,000 Cr. Each pip of increase must be purchased separately.

The improvement of the Hull rating decreases the maneuverability at the same time. A rating of less than 1D is treated as 0D.

Cost: hull rating desired x 1,000 Cr ^A

Do-it-yourself Improvement

The stats may only be increased one „pip“ at a time. If done by someone else the costs are at least doubled! The system stats can not be improved beyond 1D + 2. ^B

Cloaking Device *, ^C

seem to be only a legend. Rumors claim the Empire to have functional devices, but they are prohibitively expensive, energy-draining and bulky.

Masking can be done at shadow ports, many fringe ports or by a sufficiently skilled ship's engineer.

The more codes a ship carries (including the inactive „ghosts“ codes), the more likely the deception is to be detected.

The acquiring of an unused/neutral code requires one week research and 1,000 Cr in expenses. Registering the Code requires a moderate to difficult CON or BUREAUCRACY roll and 1,000 Cr.
