Spaceships and Tactical Systems Rules (Thematic)

Scope

Use this skill for ship-upgrade choices, travel costs, tactical-system activation, and "what can we do from orbit" rulings.

Ship subsystem functions

• Armory: consumable acquisition, item charging, gadget-funded augmentation pipeline.
• Science Bay: specimen analysis (d100 outcomes), mutation access pipeline, high-risk high-reward experimentation.
• Med Bay: passive daily healing scaling by level and med-bay upgrades; gadget-based burst recovery.
• Housing: passenger capacity economy by upgrade tier (noble/skilled/labor/domestic categories).
• Warp Drive: nutronium travel costs by distance and coordinate constraints.

Tactical systems fundamentals

• Require active ship link and non-disabled system state.
• Many require skilled passengers to operate.
• Enemy disruption attempts can block tactical-system usage until source is neutralized.

Tactical effect families

• Orbital direct-fire systems (laser, bombardment, missile patterns).
• Battlefield-support systems (bridges, scans, weather control).
• Force-projection systems (fighter/drone deployment).
• Extraction/transport systems (teleporter and advanced teleporter).

Operational risk model

• Ship disablement can hard-lock travel or remote support.
• Overusing nutronium for tactical power can strand crews logistically.
• Signal denial impacts both tactical actions and communications/evac assumptions.
