Upkeep
« on: May 26, 2010, 03:32:48 PM »
 Does anyone have any good numbers for up keep of civilian, merchant, military and fast military vessels? By military and fast military I mean warship vs fighter.


Thanks

You can use the Malfunction & Repair charts. There is a good guideline for when to roll for a malfunction on page 70 of Vehicle Manual.
Once you get  malfunction,use the chart on p72 to determie the malfunction. The Construction & Design tables on pp68-69 can b usedto determine length of repair.

If you want to get a standard upkeep amount, I would recommend some amount like 1% or less of the ship value per month in use, not counting Malfunctions and battle damage (and accidents).

I use 10% of ships value in upkeep/fuel/etc per year.

Nice would be 5%.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.
