Rowing/Paddling/Sculling Notes:
Muscle, as measured by P.S., is also required to move boats. When it comes to manually powered boats, the tonnage (displacement actually) determines just how much muscle is needed. A minimum P.S. of 8 is needed for any boat. After that, every 100 pounds of displacement requires another point of P.S. So, for example, a rowboat with a displacement of 2000 lbs (1 ton) would need 20 points of P.S. plus the basic P.S. of 8, or a total of 28 points of P.S.
For example, let's say there are four characters rowing at full speed on a rowboat that's manually driven. What are the P.S., P.E. and Spd. limits of a rowboat crewed by the following four characters?
Bernie -- P.S.: 20, P.E.: 12, Spd.: 12 Alf-- P.S.: 9, P.E.: 11, Spd.: 11 Bruce-- P.S.: 7, P.E.: 11, Spd.: 23 Nancy -- P.S.: 7, P.E.: 13, Spd.: 13
P.S. Limits. The rowboat has a total payload of 2,200 pounds (including crew), so it takes a P.S. of 30 (22 plus the basic 8) to keep the rowboat moving. Therefore, all four characters (with a total P.S. of 45) can easily keep it going. Or, Bernie and any two of the others. But if Bernie stops, the other three characters can only muster a P.S. of 25, so they won't be able to keep the rowboat moving.
P.E. Limits. Going at the top speed for the whole group, 7.8mph (Spd.: 11), the group can only keep it up for 11 minutes. That's when Alf's and Bruce's P.E.s will give out. Going slower, at cruising speed, 5.2mph (two-thirds maximum), means the group can move along with-out burning themselves out.
Spd. Limits. If everyone is rowing, then the maximum speed will always be 11, because that's as fast as Alf can row. If Alf drops out for a while, then the whole group can speed up to 12, Bernie's Spd. If Bruce could pedal all by himself, he could boost the speed up to 23. Unfortunately, with a P.S. of 7, Bruce doesn't have the strength to move the rowboat all by himself.

Notes:
1. Storm Damage indicates the chance of damage to the vessel. Double the chance of damage to sails if sails are not furled.
2. Sailing Speed refers to the percentage of maximum speed attainable at that level of wind.
3. The numbers associated with Close Haul, Close Reach, Beam Reach, Broad Reach, Running Free and Running (with the wind) indicate the degree(s) of sail with regard to wind direction, with 0 degrees representing the direction the wind is coming from. These values are for Port or Starboard Tacks (i.e. to the left or right of the wind direction), not both.
4. The percentages associated with the sailing points (Close Haul, Close Reach, Beam Reach, Broad Reach, Running Free and Running (with the wind) are based on 'modern' gaff-, and bermuda-rigged sails. Square-rigged sails (such as those found on most of the vessels in High Seas) would use the sailing point modifiers found on page 189 of Adventures on the High Seas (i.e. "If the wind is blowing in a perpendicular direction," "Sailing against the wind," and "Generally, "best speed"," BUT NOT the wind modifiers.
5. At the GM's option, the Weather Conditions, Roughness of Water, and Note on Speed modifiers from pages 189-190 of Adventures on the High Seas may also be used to modify the sailing vessel's speed.

Step 4 Adding Armor
Having weapons is nice. Unfortunately, there are plenty of other people on the road with similar ideas. To keep them from putting holes in characters and vehicles, you'll need armor.

Crew Compartment Armor. Armor can be installed for each crew station on a vehicle Each crew station armor must be bought separately.
Light Armor with Plexiglas Windows; A.R.: 12, S.D.C.: 250 $1,000 Modules: 5 pounds
Medium Armor with Plexiglas Windows; A.R.: 14, S.D.C.:350 $2,500 Modules: 10 pounds
Heavy Armor with Plexiglas Windows; A.R.: 15, S.D.C.: 550 $4,500 Modules: 20 pounds

Fuel Compartment Armor
This armor serves two functions. To protect the fuel area from enemy fire, and to protect the vehicle crew from the explosion when and if the fuel gets hit. Only one set of fuel armor Per vehicle allowed.
Light Armor; A.R.: 10 S.D.C.: 200 $500 Modules: 1.5
Medium Armor; A.R.: 12 S.D.C.: 300 $2,000 Modules: 5
Heavy Armor; A.R.: 14 S.D.C.: 400 $7,000 Modules: 9

Hull Armor
Light Armor: A.R.: 12. S.D.C.: 10 per ton. Modules: 20. Cost: $2000 per ton
Medium Armor: A.R.: 13. S.D.C.: 20 per ton. Modules: 20+0.1 per ton. Cost: $4000 per ton
Heavy Armor: A.R.: 15. S.D.C.: 40 per ton. Modules: 40+0.2 per ton. Cost: $6000 per ton
Battleship Armor*: A.R.: 16. S.D.C.: 80 per ton. Modules: 80+0.25 per ton. Cost: $8000 per ton

Turret Armor
Note: The prices below are for single weapon mount turrets. Double the modules & cost for twin weapon mounts, triple the modules & cost for three weapon mounts, and quadruple the cost for quad weapon mounts.
Unarmored Turret: A.R. 8 S.D.C.: 100 Modules: 0.1 per turret.
Light Armor: A.R.: 12. S.D.C.: 350. Modules: 0.1 per turret. Cost: $1000 per turret.
Medium Armor: A.R.: 13. S.D.C.: 300. Modules: 0.2 per turret. Cost: $1500 per turret.
Heavy Armor: A.R.: 15. S.D.C.: 400. Modules: 0.2 per turret. Cost: $2000 per turret.
Battleship Armor*: A.R.: 16. S.D.C.: 500. Modules: 0.25 per turret. Cost: $2500 per turret.

Step 5: Adding Weapons
Weapon limitations by vessel size (maximum number): Ships are typically limited to a number of weapon system equal to 1/2 of their hull space (rounded down). A vessel with enough modules can have just about any weapon system installed with a few exceptions.
Guns typically have several hundred rounds each, although additional packs of 100 rounds can be stored at the cost of 0.25 modules per ammo pack.
Missile launching racks and the missiles must be purchased separately. Missile launchers usually accommodate 10 missiles. Missiles themselves do not take up module space unless they are reloads, in which case, the standard reload is 0.5 modules. Unless the ship has an automatic reloading mechanism (see the Additional Equipment section for costs and details), crew members will have to manually reload the rack themselves. Manual reloading generally takes one melee action per missile reloaded. Even manual missile reloading will require support with a machine (i.e. forklift), superhuman strength or several men. Short range missiles are +1 to strike, medium range are +2 to strike, long range and cruise missiles are +3 to strike, unless smart missiles.

Weapon Emplacement
Direct-fire weapons come in two basic configurations: fixed mount or turret mount. Each weapon system is tied into the main electrical grid of the ship. Each is also equipped with an independent targeting computer system (which can be tapped into the main ship's computer) and video recorder. These are all standard items. The listed costs for weapons are for fixed firing weapons (can only shoot in the direction they are pointed and cannot move). All Turrets and Weapon Arms can be bought without weapons.
Multiple weapon systems can be purchased and fire-linked to act as a single weapon. However, this reduces the number of targets the ship can engage at once. Fire linking is merely a matter of configuring the weapons' operations software and does not cost anything extra. However, to link or unlink weapons requires both a successful Computer Programming and Ship Mechanics or Weapons Engineer skill roll. Multiple weapon systems can also be set to fire simultaneously on command in one massive burst.
Fixed Mount: This kind of weapon fires in only one direction, and aiming requires turning the entire vehicle. Fixed-mount weapons have the advantage of being cheaper and less prone to breakdowns. Usually set up to shoot straight ahead, but can be mounted in any direction. Usually used by the vehicle's pilot. Unfortunately, fixed weapons have a restricted arc of fire. It is up to the pilot to maneuver his craft to allow for a shot. Cost: Weapon Price (except for ordnance, see below). Modules: 0.1 each (can be left empty for single shot missiles)
Concealed fixed mounts Cost twice the listed weapon price. Concealed fixed mounts can not be targeted with "called shots" while they are retracted/concealed. Modules: Weapon x2.
Swivel Mount, Manual: Weapon is mounted on a swivel that can be rotated 360 degrees. A gunner must operate the weapon from an open platform or turret. A swivel mount cannot be armored.
Swivel Mount, Automated: Weapon is mounted on a swivel that can be rotated 360 degrees. The gunner operates the weapon from a remote station. This is the most bare bones version of a turret mount, with just the weapon and a swivel mechanism. A swivel mount cannot be armored.
Fixed Mount Turrets Cost: Turret Price + Weapon Price. Modules: as per Turret +Weapon (can be left empty).
Rotating Turret: A turret mounting for any laser or weapon system provides 360 degrees of rotation and an 180 degree arc of fire. Turret weapons can be independently targeted and fired without specific maneuvering, but are somewhat bulkier and more expensive than fixed mounts. Rotating turrets are +1 to strike Rotating turrets Cost twice the price of the turret & weapon installed. Modules: 1.5xTurret+Weapon(s). (can be left empty).
Retractable or Pop Up Turrets Cost three times the turret price + weapon price. These concealed turrets can not be targeted with "called shots" while they are retracted/concealed. Machine Guns, Gatling Guns, Rockets and Mini-Missiles can be made retractable on any craft while heavier weapons can only be retractable on vehicles larger than 500 tons. Cruise Missiles can not be concealed or retracted, except in vehicles 1000 tons or larger. Modules: 2xTurret+Weapon (can be left empty).
Retractable or Pop Up Rotating Turrets Cost four times the turret+weapon price. These concealed turrets can not be targeted with "called shots" while they are retracted/concealed. Machine Guns, Gatling Guns, Rockets and Mini-Missiles can be made retractable on any craft while heavier weapons can only be retractable on spacecraft larger than 500 tons. Cruise Missiles can not be concealed or retracted, except in vessels 1000 tons or larger. Modules: 2.5xTurret+Weapon (can be left empty).
Vertical Launch Systems for Missiles: These are essentially specialized Fixed Mounts for missile systems, allowing the missile to be stored in vertically aligned, quick firing, 8-cell launcher (as opposed to the standard 10-cell launchers of standard missile packs). Singular VLS systems can also be purchased, but have unchanged features from standard fixed mount single-missile launchers.

5. The terms, light, medium, and heavy, found in parenthesis after the warhead type, refers to the destructive force of the warhead.
6. Multi-warhead missiles are usually a cluster of medium range missiles housed inside the casing of a large, long range missile. When the body casing runs out of fuel or reaches it's target, it fires the four medium range missiles.
7. Fragmentation missiles are missiles that send out fragments, or shards, upon impact, affecting a larger area.
8. Fire Retardant missiles explode, releasing a chemical foam that puts out fires.
9. Smoke missiles release large, billowing clouds of smoke, filling the blast radius. They are used to provide cover or mark an area.
10. The Range is the maximum effective range of the missile.
11. The Speed is provided to give players an idea of how fast the missiles travel.
12. The Blast Radius is the full area damaged by the missile impact. The specific target of the missile takes FULL DAMAGE, while all else in the blast radius takes half damage.
13. Depth Charges are basically a bomb that is dropped into the water, sinks and detonates when it reaches a particular depth or hits an object.

DEFENSIVE WEAPONS
Active Electronic Buoy: A disposable buoy that produces an electro-acoustic signal to decoy torpedoes. The buoy makes a parry roll against the torpedo attack at +4; if successful, the torpedo hits and detonates on the buoy instead of the vessel Cost: $8000 Modules Required: 0.1 per buoy
Anti-missile Chaff: This defense mechanism is designed to be launched from the target ship and to draw the missiles away from it to hit the chaff ball instead. Chaff for spacecraft are actually small globes packed with electronics. When launched, they emit energy signature patterns and electronic signals similar to those missiles are programmed to home in on. The chaff makes a parry roll against the missile attack at +4; if successful, the missile or missile volley hits and detonates on the chaff globe instead of the vessel. Anti-missile chaff will not work on long range or cruise missiles because of the advanced guidance systems of these missiles. A chaff system comes with ten chaff globes. Cost: $165,000 for the chaff dispenser and $3,500 for each chaff globe. Modules Required: 0.5 for the dispenser and 10 chaff globes; 0.1 for every additional ten globes.
Anti-Missile Flare: When triggered it sends out a canister designed to decoy enemy anti-aircraft missiles. The canister heats up, attracting the missile's heat sensors. The flare makes a parry roll against the missile attack at +4; if successful, the missile or missile volley hits and detonates on the flare instead of the vessel. Cost: $4200 each. Modules Required: 0.1 for six flares.
Electronic Countermeasures (ECM): ECM is a powerful system designed to interfere with the proper operation of electronic combat systems such as targeting computers, radar locks, laser targeting, sensors, and other systems. ECM is especially useful for protecting vessels from attacks that use computer tracking, locking, and auto-guidance, including robots, missiles, and ship based weaponry. ECM does little against direct fired weapons such as guns. In game terms, an active ECM unit provides the vessel with a bonus of +4 to dodge any incoming attack except guided missiles, against which an ECM provides a dodge bonus of +6. Cost: $4.2 million. Modules Required: 16.
Hardened Circuits: The ship's electrical and computer circuits have been hardened to withstand the effects of scramblers and EMP. Electronic systems without hardening are 90% susceptible to being disabled by EMP. Hardening increases the protection to 25% chance of being disabled. Cost: $600,000
Prairie Masker: Forms an air bubble around the vessel, thus reducing it's acoustic noise. This makes the vessel less susceptible to torpedo homing. In game terms, an prairie masker unit provides the vessel with a bonus of +4 to dodge any incoming torpedo attack. Cost: $10,000 per ton. Modules Required: None
Smoke Screen: The pilot can release smoke by changing the fuel mix in the engine. Cost: $14,400 for boats and $144,000 for ships. Modules Required:
Submarine Electronic Countermeasures. Consist of a passive, electro-acoustic decoy system used to provide deceptive countermeasures against acoustic homing torpedoes, towed astern on a cable. The system provides an alternate target diversion for an enemy acoustic homing torpedo by stringing on cable a "noise maker", aft of the ship, which has the capability of producing a greater noise than the ship; thereby diverting the incoming torpedo from the ship to the "fish". The towed device receives the torpedoes ping frequency, amplifies it 2 to 3 times and sends it back to lure the torpedo away from the ship. They may be used in pairs or singularly. The system makes a parry roll against the torpedo attack at +6; if successful, the torpedo hits and detonates on the system instead of the vessel. Cost: $250,000 Modules Required: 1 per countermeasure system.
Submarine Chaff: This is a defensive mechanism designed to launch a canister that generates loud acoustic noise as well as using a dye and air-bubble forming generator to acoustically and visually distract torpedo homing systems. The chaff makes a parry roll against the torpedo attack at +6; if successful, the torpedo hits and detonates on the chaff globe instead of the vessel. Cost: $24,000 Modules Required: 0.25 each

Gyrocompass: Acompass which finds true north by using an (electrically powered) fast spinning wheel and friction forces in order to exploit the rotation of the Earth. Gyrocompasses are widely used on ships. They have two main advantages over magnetic compasses; 1) they find true north, i.e. the direction of Earth's rotational axis, as opposed to magnetic north, and 2)they are not affected by metal in a ship's hull. Cost: $2600 Module Requirements: 0.1

LADAR: Laser Detection and Ranging. Functions like an imaging radar, but is harder to detect or confuse. Because the wavelength is outside the range detected by IR (including thermographic) or UV sensors, and well outside radio wavelengths, it is very difficult to detect. In addition, Electronic Jamming systems and ECM are ineffective against the system. However, LADAR is ineffective in smoke, fog, or heavy rain. Works underwater at 5% normal range. Range: 28 miles (44km) Cost: $2 million. Module Requirements: 0.2

LIDAR:: Laser Imaging, Detecting and Ranging. This is the military version of LADAR Same basic features as LADAR, with a larger range. Range 83 miles (133km) Cost: $6 million. Module Requirements: 0.5

Meteorological Instruments: Measure temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc outside the vehicle. Cost: $7500 Module Requirements: 0.2

Motion Perimeter and Collision Warning System: An array of motion detectors around the ship will warn the crew as soon as something man-sized or larger breaks the field of the sensors (typically 6000 feet/1828 m). It will also indicate the speed, ETA of landing or impact (usually 315 seconds) and the number of approaching objects. It also sounds one of three different warnings: One for one or more small, slow moving objects that represent negligible or minimal danger, a louder more frantic alarm for medium sized (compared to the ship) or fast moving objects (missiles?), and a blaring collision alarm for objects half to same size or bigger than the vessel, or if the objects are moving at really fast speeds (fighters). A limited motion sensor array can be placed at positions in the front, rear, and main docking bays, but this leaves "dead zones' where the motion detectors do not reach. However, it is half as expensive as listed and still provides the docking bonus. Coat: $1000 per ton of the ship. Module Requirements: 0.5. Bonuses: +10% to piloting skill when docking (warns if one is getting too close to another ship, wall, strut, etc.) and +1 to dodge for vessels under 300 tons.

Sonar, Active: A system which emits sound waves to detect objects in or underwater. Also called an echo sounder. Provides the range, size, and direction of an object, and, with repeated pulses, can be used to determine course and speed. Can also be used to find the depth to the bottom (and fish) as well as locate silent, stationary objects. On the downside, the sonar pulse gives away the vehicle's position to other sonar sensors at twice the range. Range 20 miles. Cost: $8000 Module Requirements: 0.5

Sonar, Passive: Also called hydrophone. A sound-to-electricity transducer for use in water or other liquids, analogous to a ear for listening to underwater sound. Can only detect noise-making objects in the water and cannot determine exact location, nor discern size or shape. It can find approximate distance, course, and speed and classify object by acoustic signature (especially with the assistance of transmission profiling software). Cost: $4000 Module Requirements: 0.25

Sonar, Towed Array: A passive sonar system for moving watercraft to detect objects behind them by putting the sonar array behind the ships propellers. Cost: $16,000 Module Requirements: 2

COMPUTERS

Autopilot Computer (Autocomp): This computer is necessary for spacecraft whose entire crew will be in stasis, but their most common use is in automated ore transport craft which are loaded with ore before the autocomp FTLs to a predetermined rendezvous point. An autocomp has a base piloting percentage of 45%, making it suitable for ordinary flight patterns, but not particularly reliable for handling combat or docking. That percentage can be upgraded, however. When an autocomp and super navigation computer are linked, the percentages of each must match, but once they do, the two each get a 10% bonus. Cost: 200,000 credits. Upgrades cost 10,000 credits for each 5% increase above the base 45% with a maximum of 80%. Modules Required: 2.

Chartplotter: An electronic chart will be shown on a display, the position, heading and speed of the ship can be displayed in the chart. All chart plotters include GPS functions and are an evolution of the basic marine GPS combining multi functions on a single screen, usually the screen include: a Marine chart, all GPS functions, a depth sounder or sonar , and a radar screen. Depending on the manufacturer and model, the screen could be a separate screen for each function, an overlaid screen of two or more functions on the same screen, or a split screen where the screen is divided to show different windows of information. Chart-plotting can also be performed by a computer running appropriate software. Modern navigational software running on a PC can generally out-perform dedicated chart plotters. As a computer has more processing power than a plotter, and may draw data from many sources, its functionality goes beyond pure chart plotting and autopilot control, to providing advanced passage planning functions as well.

Satellite Uplink Computer: In order for a spacecraft to send or receive any useful information from a satellite, it has to have an uplink computer to process and feed the data. If it does not have these systems, the satellite must be reeled in and docked for a physical link to transfer information. Cost: 150,000 credits. Required Modules: .2

Super Navigation Computer: The basics package mentioned previously contains a basic navigation computer. Its navigation skill equivalent is 65%, which is not bad until one tries to use it for FTL, gateway, or point to point travel, and then it drops to 30%. The basic nav computer was designed to help guide a craft around solar systems and in orbit. Advanced space travel is simply out of its league, and it can not be upgraded. The super navigation computer is specifically designed for the more demanding tasks of detailed and/or tricky flight plans, advanced decision making, and FTL or other precision forms of travel. Its skill equivalency rating starts at 50% and can be upgraded in 5% increments. Each aspect of navigation, sublight and FTL/advanced travel, must be purchased separately, and both begin at the base of 50%. When used in conjunction with an autopilot computer, the systems complement each other (see the autocomp entry for details). Programs standard to this computer system include navigation and piloting, star maps, planetary information, gateway location coordinates (but no activation codes unless they were purchased separately), and gravity well locations (for point to point). Of course, ship crews can go without all of this hardware if they have skilled navigators among the crew. But for ships trying to cut down on personnel, a super navigation computer is the way to go. Cost: The basic computer and programs cost one million credits. Sublight percentage upgrades cost 10,000 credits per 5% increase (max 98%). FTL percentage upgrades are 15,000 credits per 5% increase (max 98%). Required Modules: .5

Voyage Data Recorder, or VDR, is a data recording system designed to collect data from various sensors on board the vessel. It then digitizes, compresses and stores this information in an externally mounted protective storage unit. The protective storage unit is a tamper-proof unit designed to withstand the extreme shock, impact, pressure and heat, which could be associated with a marine incident (fire, explosion, collision, sinking, etc). Information recorded includes data from GPS, the speed log, the gyrocompass, radar, bridge audio & radio communications, sonar or fathometer, alarms, door status, rudder, hull stress, engine/propeller feedback, thrusters, anemometer & weather vane.

Step 7: Optional Modifications, Equipment and Accessories

Atmosphere Recycling System: The most valued commodity in space is breathable atmosphere. Only a limited supply can be brought for any given trip, so conservation and recycling is a good idea, especially if combat causes some to leak out. A spacecraft generally has a number of days worth of breathable atmosphere in it equal to its tonnage divided by the number of crew members. A recycling system will extend this time by a multiple of ten. Thus a 50 ton combat craft with one pilot would have 500 days worth of air while a four man crew would have 125 days worth of breathable atmosphere.
