  Androids who have this racial trait can install one additional cybernetic augmentation into one system that already has an augmentation. At 16th level, their range increments instead triple when you use them. Shadow engines can propel starships at incredible speeds, but such speed comes with a price: excruciating pain. Get to Know Us. These halforcs can be found in a variety of jobs, displaying an array of talents. But for those who can't use torrents, here is an updated list of our alternatives. An android with this trait has a built-in comm unit that can be accessed without needing to use their hands.

Gravity Well — like the old star wars Interdictors that kept you from jumping to light speed, these slow you down when active and require a lot of power from the engineer just to use them. I feel like this adds depth to the gameplay, gives you a reason to divert power to guns and makes combat a team sport again.

Hacking — science officers hack enemy ships and give them penalties to things. Intimidating — gives the captain a second taunt or an extra phase affected by their taunt, again shining some spotlight on folks beside the pilot and the gunner.

Mine — can only be mounted in the aft, you launch mines behind your ship, this might be interesting combined with a turn and burn from the pilot. Nav-Scram — you fill the space around the enemy ship with tiny navigation hazard particles, not Minovski particles oddly enough, and the other pilot rolls with disadvantage to see who goes first.

Bigger weapons effects can last longer. Numbing — you try to stun the enemy crew and they have to make a Fort save or take penalties to all checks for a few rounds. You must connect and do hull points. Orbital — long range weapons that tear up large stationary targets. They take penalties to shoot mobile targets like starships. Pod — externally mounted and self powered limited fire weapons this might make my jet fighters with rockets and missiles easier to explain they also take damage when the ship gets hit and might explode.

Rail — armor piercing spike that gets more damage for every 5 by which you exceed the target DC. Ramming — pilot attacks with a ramming prow and damages the enemy ship, this might even force the enemy into another hex. You can add the following properties to existing weapons subject to the properties normal limitations. Honestly it would take forever and the properties tell you most of what you need to know.

The Anchoring melee weapons might be the thing the Outlaw Star fans have been looking for. Deflector Shields — raise you AC and TL as well as absorb some damage like DR, they are better against melee, ramming and ripoper weapons. Breaching Pod — can carry two huge creatures or 4 large creatures lookout for Katar boarding marines in Power Armor and acts like a missile, escape pod and shuttle all in one.

External Expansion Bay — small or larger ships can add external bays that hamper their maneuvering, up to as many bays outside as the ship has inside. Healing Pods — biomechanical pods can concentrate their self repair abilities to double natural healing of up to six medium sized creatures. Survey Sensors — double the computer bonus for doing science, and double the range planetside, no effect on starship combat.

Some of our long rance science ships might want one of these. Holographic Mantle — hologram makes your ship look like a different ship, broadcasts a fake transponder signal and sensor scan information.

Colony Ship Framework — carry ten times the normal max crew onboard and three times the expansion bays, mount one orbital weapon. Might be especially interesting for pilots of single seat fighters. Space Station Framework — for building space stations with five times the max crew in residents and three times the normal expansion bays and an orbital weapon.

Training Interface Module — lets you use class features or feats in starship combat. People might just start putting these in ships without selecting which class features or feats knowing somebody is going to want to use something. Holographic Projector — allows the VI to walk and talk with the crew. Skill Expander — skill mods for the VI.

Boarding is either resolved through starship actions OR tactical combat, I really want to try the tactical combat boarding actions with our Frigate VTT map. Like other chase rules that came before it, you have obstacles and crew actions to overcome them. I think the obstacles might make for decent complications to starship combat too.

Crew locations, Scotty down in Engineering, Captain and Helmon the bridge, Mystic in their wizard lab. I have an adventure that will use at least two things from this section.

I feel like the new actions and stunts ought to be available for normal starship combat. I probably need to build some faction fleets for my ships in case anyone wants to run this mini-game right away. Most of the Katar and Eldred ships in the ERG house setting Galaxy Pirates are Destroyer fleets by these rules, the Eldred only ever wanted Capital ships after seeing an allied fleet defend their homeworld.

The Terran faction have a Battleship that would fit the Capital fleet definition, but the Frigate would be part of a Destroyer fleet.

So by these rules the Terran, Eldred and Trogon factions could all field a Capital fleet. They fixed Gunnery: I see one thing that is going to change every published starship in the game. One ship in core even had Master gunners. The starship artwork: the early art is hit or miss for me, the Skymedic is nice, the multifold autohauler is a fantastic little boxy ship, the Opulence looks like an airship I want to convince Jim to put in A Broken Sky right down to the coke bottle green glass.

The Librama looks like somebody dropped a tree feather token on a Zentraedi ship, the Resolute looks like something a Russian artist I follow on DA would have done.

The Idaran Saga is beautiful and I want one on my desk. There are so many good looking ships they really outweigh the few that are just missed opportunities to me. Pyre Spike Station is wonderful, Driftmaven is very cool and I kind of want to redo the art anyway because I think it could go to eleven.

Having expected damage output is a good start to balancing starship combat. I love the book I have been waiting for it for a long time, conceptually even before it was announced. They answered some problems I had written about and I look forward to see what the community response is to the changes.

The Starship Ops Manual just dropped into my downloads. Mystical — gun that uses Mysticism to shoot instead of gunnery. Restricted — faction only gear. Smart — mines that drift toward the target after you deploy them.

Teleportation — you move the enemy starship or switch places with them. Transposition — you teleport your ship to the location of a previously placed beacon. Weapon Upgrades You can add the following properties to existing weapons subject to the properties normal limitations. Fortified Hull — raises Critical Threshold. Special Materials Abysium — radioactive power cores and weapons mounts that grant the irradiate property. Djezet — more efficient power cores and longer range sensors Horacalcum — slows down incoming missiles, speeds up the ship and aids piloting.

Inubrix — less damage from hazards and may double crits. Siccatite — reduces friction from reentry, and confuse enemy computer scans. Combat Training Facility — on at least some of my ships this is going to replace the gyms. Corpse Recycler — grind down your enemies into necrograft UPBs. Cryo-Chamber — for all our Traveller fans you can now have a low passage berth. Dedicated Computer Housing — a space for a single dedicated mononode computer.

Drop Pod — you drop four huge or eight large creatures from orbit, who needs shuttles. Ghost Drive — make your ship incorporeal. Quantum Defender — forces enemy ships to roll gunnery at disadvantage when its active. Thrusters Primer — reduces warm up time for thrusters. Security Emergency Accelerator — turbo boost to get you away from combat and leave the map. Reconfiguration System — the ship physically changes shape to look like a different ship. Other Systems Algal Shielding — radiation shielding and hydroponics for biomechanical ships.

Root System — self repair supplies for a biomechanical ship. Starship Combat Boarding is either resolved through starship actions OR tactical combat, I really want to try the tactical combat boarding actions with our Frigate VTT map. Critical Effects Add critical successes to the crew actions. Starship Chases Like other chase rules that came before it, you have obstacles and crew actions to overcome them. Starships in Atmosphere I have an adventure that will use at least two things from this section.

Squadron Combat I feel like the new actions and stunts ought to be available for normal starship combat. Armada Combat I probably need to build some faction fleets for my ships in case anyone wants to run this mini-game right away.

ERG certainly has enough fighter designs for people to build fighter fleets out of. Space Hazards These are going to help you build more robust starship campaign.

Designing Starship Encounters Cool stuff there with narrative advice and alternate win conditions and non-combat options. Starship Adventure Seeds Some good ones in there. Starship Campaign Arcs Some good ones in there. If you have any feedback about this post or our books please feel free to contact us. Paul Evilrobotgames at Gmail.
