electronics of computers and related devices (terminals, printers, modems,
etc.). The character can attempt to repair or sabotage computers. Note
that figuring out the repair or sabotage procedure counts as one roll,
and the actual repair is a second roll. A failed roll means the repair
is faulty and does not work (try again). No computer operation or programming
skills are included nor required to fix computers. Many computer repair
personnel don't even know how to turn the computer on! Base Skill:
25% + 5% per level of experience.

Electrical Engineer: Knowledge of electricity.
Characters can diagnose and locate electrical problems, repair complex
electrical devices, wire entire buildings or vehicles, and build electrical
equipment. The character can also attempt to bypass security systems, alarms,
and surveillance systems, but at a penalty of -20% for simple systems and
-50% for complex systems (reduce these penalties by half if the character
also has the surveillance systems skill). Base Skill: 30% + 5% per
level of experience. Requires: Math:
Advanced and literacy.
Note:
There is a -30% penalty when working on alien or extremely unfamiliar electronics.
This includes techno-wizard devices. The electrician may be able to puzzle
out some of the basic aspects of a device created by techno-wizardry, and
may be able to figure out how to operate the machine, but will not be able
to fully fathom how it works nor repair it.

Electricity Generation/Power Systems:
Electricity is generated in two ways: from sunlight, using solar panels,
and from small nuclear generators. This skill allows a character to understand
and repair such generation systems, but not to build them. Base Skill:
50% + 5% per level of experience.

Glitter Boy Electronics: The Glitter
Boy is an advanced power armor. The electronics use nanotechnology and
computer chips the size of a flea. This form of power armor works on the
thought processes and certain nerve pulse of the brain of the pilot. All
of the electronics are complex and very greatly from the ordinary power
armor. Most Glitter Boys are powered by a fusion device no bigger than
a lap top computer, using a non-radioactive element. The element has the
same power as a nuclear energy, but with out the radioactivity. The older
Glitter Boys still functions off of nuclear power. Most engineers that
acquire this skill can work on normal power armor, but at -30% skill level.
The training includes how to program the nanites to perform their specified
jobs. The character must have an I.Q. of 12 or better to even have this
skill. Those characters with an 11 or below that want the skill, they will
have to start off at half the base and it will cost three separate skill
selections. A note to the GM This skill applies to all Glitter Boys not
just to military Glitter Boys. Base Skill: 30% + 5% per level of
experience.
Requires: Electrical
Engineer and Computer Operations.
There is a -40% penalty when working on alien or extremely unfamiliar robot
electronics (for Glitter Boys not built and designed in that particular
region).

Mecha Electronics: First hand knowledge of
the electrical systems built into RDF, REF and Southern Cross mecha. The
character knows exactly how they interact with protoculture and the intricacies
of Robotechnology. Other skills in electrical systems do not apply to mecha,
making this an invaluable skill for repairing the famous war machines.
Base
Skill: 35% + 5% per level of experience.
|
|
Power Armor Electronics: This is
the skill that enables the character to work on these complex and efficient
form of mecha. The power armor is more advanced than a robot, but not as
advanced as the Glitter Boys. Just like the Glitter Boy the Power Armor
use thought and brain waves to control it. Most Power Armor is powered
by a fusion device no bigger than a lap top computer, using a non radioactive
element. The element has the same power as a nuclear energy, but with out
the radioactivity. The older Power Armors still functions off of nuclear
power. A note to the GM This skill applies to all Power Armor not just
to Coalition/military Power Armor. Base Skill: 30% + 5% per level
of experience.
