==Engineering== #'''More Power''': The engineer knows how to suck the most speed possible from the ship’s engines for a short period of time. When the captain demands more power, the ship gains +2 speed, but at the end of each round it must make a reliability check. If the check fails, the speed burst goes away. If the reliability check comes up a 6, roll a second reliability check: if this check fails, the strain on the engines has caused a point of damage to them. #'''Machinist’s Touch''': No one knows what it is about the guy, but machines just want to run for him. All his rolls on the ship repair table are at –1. This skill may be taken up to three times for the maximum of –3. #'''Troubleshooter''': The engineer is lightning quick at diagnosing the ships problems, and thus he is able to cover more ground after the battle. You may use him to repair two locations instead of the usual one. #'''Fabricator''': The engineer is an expert in metal craft, so if he has the proper equipment, he is able to hand-make any spare parts that are difficult to find. If the fabricator has access to a workshop or a machine shop, he may ignore the rarity part requirement for repairs as well as the variable cost d6. If there are multiple rarities in order to avoid a permanent statistic loss, he may only ignore the lower value: thus you must still search for the higher value to avoid permanent damage. #'''Fine Tuning''': The engineer always makes sure that the ship’s systems are running in the finest possible working order, and because of this extra care, the ship is extra reliable. You may re-roll the one failed reliability save on any trip. #'''Miracle Worker''': This engineer knows the limits of what's possible to do with a ship and its systems. The strange part is that he has a habit of pulling off repairs and fixes that seem to defy what is possible, even after he's done them. If the engineer fails to repair something he may roll a D6, on a result of 6 he may make a second repair attempt on the task he just failed. The results of the second attempt stands, even if the result is worse than it was originally.
