To be vaccum rated costs double again || 2 || $1K xSize |- | '''Exposed Crew (1)''': Motorcycles and other “ridden” vehicles offer no protection for their passengers. Crew get no Armor bonus should it sustain a Crew critical hit. || n/a || 50% base($) |- | '''Fixed (U)''': “Fixed” weapons cannot rotate. On the table-top, they have a 45° firing arc.

Total all like Fixed weapons first, then halve their combined Mod cost. || n/a || n/a |- | '''Food Storage (U)''': A dedicated cargo area just for perseving food and water. Can hold 20 'base' days of food (for a Size 0 creature). || 1 || $1K |- | '''Handling (3)''': The vehicle is precision crafted and very maneuverable. Add +1 to the vehicle's Handling score. || ½ Size || $5K xSize |- | '''Hover Vehicle (1)''': The vehicle uses hover fans instead of wheels. It ignores difficult terrain modifiers and obstacles less than a yard tall. Also add +5mph to its base speed. || 5 || $5K xSize |- | '''Linked (U)''': Up to four direct-fire weapons of the same type may be linked and fired as one, increasing the damage by +2 per additional weapon and reducing the total number of Mods required. Total all Linked weapons in a set first, then halve their required Mods. (If Linking Fixed weapons, halve the total.) || n/a || n/a |- | '''Living Space (Special)''': Large or greater vehicles only. The vehicle has an extended superstructure with bunk beds, personal storage bins for up to four individuals, and one shared bathroom and kitchenette (regardless of how many times this is taken) for longterm travel. The superstructure decreases overall Toughness by 1 each time it’s taken. The limit is half the vehicle’s base Toughness. || 4 || $5K |- | '''Luxury Features (1)''': Typically reserved for civilian vehicles, luxury features include music systems, minibars, video screens, extra comfortable chairs, etc. The larger the vehicle, the more extravagant the features. || 1 || $5K xSize |- | '''Missile Launcher (U)''': Allows up to four Light or two Heavy (or AT) missiles to be fired at once. || 1 || $50K |- | '''Muscle Powers (1)''': Ultra-light and light vehicles only.

Already includes Exposed Crew Mod. || n/a || 25% base($) |- | '''Off Road (1)''': Ignore Driving penalties for difficult terrain. On the table-top, treat each inch of difficult terrain as 1.5” instead of 2” || ¼ Size || $1K xSize |- | | '''Radar/Sonar (1)''': Radar can detecting flying objects around 1,000 miles (or the horizon) with a ''Electronics''. Illumination, fog, etc. are ignored. Sonor works the same way but underwater objects and land mass mapping with average range of 300 miles. || 1 || $50K |- | '''Reinforced Chassis (3)''': Increases Toughness of the chassis by +2. || ¼ Size || $1K xSize |- | '''Sensor Suite (1)''': This functions exactly like a Sensor Suite (see Gear: Sensor and Security Devices above), Range 5 miles; Double the price Range of 100 miles. || 1 || $25K |- | '''Shields (1)''': The vehicle is protected by an ablative energy field that absorbs the vehicle's Size points of damage from each attack its suffers. Apply all damage to the shield first, then any left over to the vehicle (AP counts as usual). It can absorb Sizex10 before the shields are depleted. Active shields detonate missiles and torpedoes before they hit, reducing their damage total by half. A vehicle may regenerate its Size in shield points if it makes no attacks in a round. || ½ Size || $25K xSize |- | '''Sloped Armor (1)''': The vehicle’s armor is sloped in such a way that shots are often deflected off its surface. Attackers subtract 2 to hit with ''Shooting'' direct-fire, non-energy weapons. || 2 || $3K xSize |- | '''Speed (U)''': Increases the vehicle’s Speed by 10mph (15kph). (This cannot be taken with Speed Reduction.) || ¼ Size || $1K xSize |- | '''Speed Reduction (3)''': The vehicle sacrifices power and speed for additional room. Subtract 5mph to Speed each time this is taken to gain half Size in Mod slots. || n/a || n/a |- | '''Statis Field Sleeping Pods (U)''': These add statis tubes that can sustain a human life for years (theoretically) and can be added to both vehicles and starships (and found in a few medical facilities planet side). Each unit holds 4 individuals whom can be keep within for long term without requiring food, water and oxygen. Each unit of pods uses one Energy of the vessel per month (30 days) that it is running. || 1 || $50K |- | '''Stealth System (1)''': Radar-absorbing paint, heat baffles, scramblers, and other devices make the vehicle difficult to detect by vision or sensors. Those trying to attack or spot the vehicle subtract 4 from their rolls. The effect is triggered as a free action, but is negated any round in which the vehicle fires a weapon or emits some other noncloakable signal such as radio signal, movement, or active sensor search. || Size || $10K xSize |- | '''Targeting System (1)''': The vehicle’s computer is linked to all attached weapons. This compensates for movement, range, multi-actions, and the like, negating up to four points of Shooting penalties. This does not assist the firing of passenger’s personal weapons. || 1 || $10K xSize |- | '''Tracked (1)''': The vehicle has tracks instead of wheels and can climb over small obstacles. This reduces Speed by 10mph (or 5mph if 10 would reduce it to 0), but adds +2 to Handling based and ignores ''Driving'' penalties for difficult terrain. On the table-top causes no reduction in speed. || n/a || $5K xSize |- | '''Watercraft (1)''': The vehicle is a boat or ship. It’s base Speed are halved (round up). Speed Modifications increase Speed only by 5 (instead of 10). For expermely larger vessels such as super carries vessels or cruise ships, use the Starship rules for Size, Toughness, and Crew, and add any enhancements that aren’t for non space travel. They also do not have 'energy' points. If a Modification is listed under Vehicles, use that instead. Ships may have Torpedo Tubes. || n/a || n/a |- |} ====Some Vehicle Examples==== <font size=1>[https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/SWAE.SF.StarLaw Back to Top] </font></br> Note that for unused Mods used as storage a vehicle can haul 50lbs x unused Mods x twice the Size (for land vehicles) or just Size (for aircraft)</br> Also the '''Wounds*''' works just like extra wounds for large creatures (SWADE pg. 179)</br> </br> '''DIRT BIKE'''[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/626633735659494394/visual-search/] and [https://www.pinterest.com/pin/260153315965226984/]</br> Common on frontier worlds and as a sports motorbike on more developed worlds. </br> '''Cost''' $3.5K.
