| Drive repair: Chemical
drive: |
The chemical drive is the most basic space drive, the most expensive
to run and the least efficient. It burns a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen
to provide propulsion and therefore needs a lot of room for fuel. It is
also prone to leaks and even explosions. |
| Drive repair: Fold
Drives: |
Create a wormhole through space/time from point A to point B.
Will not work correctly within a gravity well (for moons, planets &
stars, this range is twice the object's radius from its surface). Approximately
1 day passes every hour spent in fold if the fold is done correctly, with
about one parsec traveled per hour. If the drive is incorrectly programmed,
this could increase to as much as 1 YEAR per hour. Examples: Robotech
& Macross II ships. |
| Drive repair: Ion
drive: |
An ion drive uses electrical power to convert its hydrogen fuel
into a stream of ions which propel the spacecraft. |
| Drive repair: Plasma
drive: |
The plasma drive uses a controlled nuclear fusion reaction between
deuterium and helium-3 to produce plasma, which is then forced backwards
by a magnetic field to provide thrust. |
| Drive repair: Traction
drive: |
Generates a very powerful and specialized pseudo-magnetic field which
attaches itself to the fabric of the space-time continuum and pulls the
spacecraft along after it. |
| Drive repair: Warp/Gravity
Drives : |
Typified by the FTL drive systems of Manhunter and the CG drive
of Phase World (-40% for one universe's techs to work on the other technology).
In both, the ship projects a field that isolates it from the universe's
gravity field, bypassing the normal limit of lightspeed. However, gravity
wells can throw off travel, as the engines are calibrated to counter only
the ship's gravitic signature. This skill also applies to sublight gravity
drives, used in many atmospheric and local space craft. |
The six kinds of space drives are all different and work on totally different
scientific principles. A character with Drive Repair: chemical drive will
have a complete knowledge of how these drives work, to the extant that
they can build one if given time and enough spare parts, but their knowledge
of ion drives, plasma drives or traction drives will be minimal. A character
can attempt to repair other types of drives, but at a penalty of -40%.
Base
Skill: 30% + 5% per level of experience.

hook, bone needle, wooden stake, torch, rope, string, fishing line, simple
flute, blow gun, staff, wooden spear, bola, throwing stick, arrow, short
bow, stone knife, and spear and axe head made from chipped stone. The ability
to fashion tools is a source of pride for jungle tribesman and wilderness
folk. An unsuccessful roll results in a product that is completely useless,
try again. It generally takes about 1D4 hours to make a small, simple item
and 2D4+1 to make a larger, more elaborate item like a stone axe, spear
with a stone head, short bow, etc. Base Skill: 20% + 5% per level
of experience.

open an antiquated key type lock or simple tumbler/combination type. 1D4
minutes to open an elaborate tumbler type, 2D4 minutes to open a simple
electronic lock (usually by patching in a bypass system), and 1D4 hours
to break a complex, state-of-the-art electronic lock system such as those
used in high security and restricted areas. Super high-tech systems, such
as those used by the Coalition's military and government, will require
3D4 hours and have a skill penalty of -20%.
If an unsuccessful skill roll is made, the lock is not opened and the process
must be repeated. If an attempt to open an electronic lock fails, roll
again. A second failed roll means that the lock is irreparable damaged
and can not be opened! Base Skill: 25% + 5% per level of experience.
Requires:
At least Electronics: Basic (-5% penalty
when working on complex or high-tech locks) or Electrical
Engineer (+5% bonus).

Marine/Naval Engineer: Engineers who
have the overall responsibility for designing and supervising construction
of ships are called navel architects. The ships they design range in size
from ocean going super tankers as much as 1300 feet long to small tugboats
that operate in rivers and bays. Regardless of size, ships must be designed
and built so that they are safe, stable, strong, and fast enough to perform
the type of work intended for them. To accomplish this, a navel architect
must be familiar with the variety of techniques of modern shipbuilding,
and must have a thorough grounding in applied sciences, such as fluid mechanics,
that bear directly on how ships move through water.
Marine engineering is a specialized branch of mechanical engineering devoted
to the design and operation of systems, both mechanical and electrical,
needed to propel a ship. In helping the navel vessel architect design ships,
the marine engineer must choose a propulsion unit, such as a diesel engine
or geared steam turbine, that provides enough power to move the ship at
the speed required. In doing so, the engineer must take into consideration
how much the engine and fuel bunkers will weigh and how much space they
will occupy, as well as the projected costs of fuel and maintenance.
