Variant: Space Stations
Players may decide they want to invest in a space station. Only size categories Large and larger are appropriate for space stations. If players elect to own a space station instead of—or in addition to—a starship, use the following rules.
Armor Class
When calculating a space station's armor class, space stations receive a -2 detriment to their AC.
Stock Modifications
Your space station comes with the Central Computer, Makeshift universal system in addition to the other stock modifications.
Flying Speed and Turning Speed
The station's flying speed become 50 feet and it's turning speed becomes 100 feet, regardless of any bonuses or penalties. The station's flying speed and turning speed can never be increased or decreased.
Hull Points Per Hull Die
For each Hull Die a space station has, it gains 2 additional hull points.
Hyperspace Travel
Your travel time in hyperspace is doubled.
Modification Installation DC
Space Stations have a -10 adjustment to the DC to install a modification.
Starship Size Maximum Suites
The maximum number of suites a station can have (based on their size and constitution modifier) doubles. For instance, a Large ship with a 17 constitution (+3) has a maximum of 9 suites, and a Large station with the same constitution score instead has a maximum of 18 suites.
