Building a Modular Ship

Modules

Modules are kind of like claims, and require a Job (or similar) to obtain new ones. They have no narrative or mechanical benefits of their own, but the crew may choose one fitting to install in a new module

Module Limit - How many of a module can be fitted onto a ship
Fitting Capacity - How many fittings a single module can contain
Core Load - How many Core Load points fitting a module incurs

Fittings

Fittings are 'upgrades' to modules which provide narrative or mechanical benefits, such as bonuses to rolls or new capabilities. Maybe bought with Barter, or acquire an asset??

Rarity - How difficult the fitting is to acquire
Fitting Limit - How many of a fitting can be fitted onto a ship

Benefits for modules & fittings:

- 2 free Load of a particular type
+ +1 Tension or Trauma box (3x cost)
- Extra capabilities (exoplane, drones, ship/planet scanners, prox/lock sensors, onboard workshop)
+ Raise skill ceiling to 4 (4x cost!)
+ Raise quality of specific item type (Data, Gear, Supplies, Tools, or Weapons)
- Increased Barter storage
+ Each downtime gain Barter equal to CCd6 minus Wear
- +1d to engagement rolls for specific job type
+ -2 Wear per job
- +2 Barter per job meeting specific criteria (e.g. client type)
- +1d to specific downtime roll (repairing wear, healing, acquire asset)
- +1 to a skill in a specific category (each player chooses skill)
- +1d to specific rolls (2 skills, resistance with specific criteria)

Available Modules

Cargo Rack

Limit 2 | Capacity 2
A radial rack for cargo pods provides extra space for transporting goods and supplies.

Commodity Cargo Pods

Rarity 1 | Limit 2

A rack of launchers, retrieval arms, and repair bays for operating and maintaining a set of orbital drones.

Exoplane Dock

Limit 1 | Capacity 1
A specialised support gantry allows the ship to safely carry a stowed exoplane during acceleration, and facilitates easy passage between the ship and exoplane via a dedicated docking port.

Exoplane

Rarity 1 | Limit 1
