Its important to note weapons on starships are repaired and modified separate from the starship its self using the Weapon Repair Rules. This section does cover installing new weapons onto ships.
Installation / Modification Time and Repair.
The exact time a modification requires is ntirely up to the judge at the table, but it is generally suggested that the time be related to the sophistication of the work being completed.
Repair and modification times completed by npc's could be cut in half if the player pays for overtime and/or substantial bribes (which is normally about double the normal cost for the work). Work being completed by PC's could be rushed if the PC has help. The amount of time reduced is again completely up to the judge at the table.
| Dificulty of Modification | Suggested "Time Taken" |
| Very Easy | 1 Hour |
| Easy | 6 Hours |
| Moderate | 1 Day |
| Difficult | 2 Days |
| Very Difficult | 1 Week |
| Heroic | 1 Month |
Weight and Cargo Space Taken up
Modified systems have one tremendous advantage over replaced systems: They do not take up extra space. In game terms, as long as the character is modifying an existing system no additional cargo space is removed.
However, if a system is replaced you must refund the cargo space from removing the old system then subtract the new cargo space modifier from the total cargo space available on the ship to install the new system.
All the replacement systems weight something, and all the systems being removed weight something this is represented by cargo space additions and subtractions on the ship.
Mishaps
Should a mishap occur while a ship is being modified the Judge at the table should consult the following Starship Mishaps and select the appropriate mishap for the system being worked. The player will then be be made aware of the mishap so he or she may take this into account for future game play. Its important to note that the PLAYER knows of the mishap NOT the CHARACTER.
