====== Buying/Selling spaceships ======

=====Availability=====

Most types of common spaceships are easy to buy in a primary system and possible to buy in a secondary system Some are available in tertiary systems and very few in colonies.

To find a given  ship for purchase use following:
   * TL:
      * TL 11: -6
      * TL 10: +0
      * TL 9: -3
   * System: 
     * Primary: +0
     * Secondary: -6
     * Tertiary: -12
     * Colony: -18
   * Total production of the ship:
     * 100+ million: +9
     * 10+ million: +6
     * 1+ million: +3
     * 100+ thousand: +0
     * 10+ thousand: -3
     * 1+ thousand: -6
     * 100+:  -9
     * 10+:  -12


Roll against current affairs(trade) or area knowledge or merchant to find such. Success finds a minimum and maximum of one for sale, each success by three finds double the maximum. (1-2, 1-4, 1-8, 1-16 etc.)

For each roll the shape: TL 11, -3 to the roll. TL 9: +3 to the roll.
   -(or less) Brand new
   - Used but new like condition.
   - Used but new like condition+Flaw
   - Used, fair condition.
   - Used, fair condition+Flaw
   - Used: bad condition
   - Used: bad condition+Flaw
   - Used: Barely usable condition
   - Used: Barely usable condition+Flaw

For flaw roll:
  *1-2:Major flaw
  *3-4:3 Minor flaws
  *5-6:Re-roll twice adding one mor roll for each roll of 5-6.

=====Price=====

The prices are the "new mature typical list price" of ships. In reality the prices most pay fro them are different. Below are modifiers:\\
TL:
   * TL 11: Currently base *5 price
   * TL 10: No modifier(Most civilian shipyards produce these so there are still plenty of new ones available. Most civilian construction is expected to stay TL 10 for several decades still.)
   * TL 9: *.7 price (in addition many are starting to be in fairly bad shape and finding spare parts for many of them starts to be difficlut.)
Condition:
   * New: Rush delivery/construction: *1.25
   * New: Normal delivery: *1
   * Used but new like condition *0.9 price
   * Used, fair condition: *0.8 price  (-1 HT)
   * Used: bad condition: *0.7 price (-2 HT)
   * Used: Barely usable condition: *0.6(-3 HT)
   * Used: Nonusable condition *0.5(-4HT)
   * Each major failure or 3 minor failures from below: -0.1 base price.

Major Flaws:
    -Damage that is not fixed/badly fixed.
       - Bad handling -3 to handling rolls
       - Specific subsystem has -3 HT.
       - Major holes in the hull, most of the ship hull is holed, allowing sealing of only 1d6 subsystems. Lifesupport is likely moved to such a subsystem and makeshift bunks placed there, spacesuits must be worn in the rest of the ship.
       - Grav systems not working.
       - Badly Warped hull. (Must have at least -1 generic HT for this). -3 For tight maneuvers like docking or landing and -3 HT for HT rolls caused by collisions.
   - Technical failures that are not fixed/badly fixed.
       - Stardrive cuts off but is fixable. There is a 1/6 chance each hour that the drive will cut off dumping you in normal space, it will then take 1d6 man hours of mechanic work to get it working again.
       - Reactionless cuts off but is fixable. There is a 1/6 chance each hour that the drive will cut, it will then take 1d6 man hours of mechanic work to get it working again.
       - Reactionless drive untunable. Acceleration 1/10 normal due to most of the power being wasted.
       - Navigation systems glitched: -3 to space/hyperspace navigation.

Minor flaws:
    -Damage that is not fixed/badly fixed.
       - Holes in the hull. There are major holes in the hull, maybe partly or incompletely patched, making sealing of 1d6 subsystems impossible.
       - Patched hull. Large areas of the hull have been patched with makeshift materials. Any damage has 50% chance of hitting a location with half normal DR.
       - Life support system produces bad odors, murky water and similar
       - Specific subsystem has -1 HT
       - Warped hull. (Must have at least -1 generic HT for this). -1 For tight maneuvers like docking or landing and -1 HT for HT rolls caused by collisions.
       - Bad handling -1 to handling rolls.
   - Technical failures that are not fixed/badly fixed.
       - Navigation systems glitched: -1 to space/hyperspace navigation
       - Some electric system blanks out at times, but is fixable:
         - sensors
         - communicators
         - lights
         - electricity to kitchen appliances 
         - internal communications/computer network.
       - Out of tune grav systems: all personal maneuver rolls are at -3 when under thrust.
       - Out of tune reactionless drive: Drive starts to lose acceleration far before reaching 1% light speed, causing the time to 1% takes twice as long.
       - Stardrive cuts off but is fixable. There is a 1/6 chance each day that the drive will cut off, it will then take 2d6 man hours of mechanic work to get it working again.
   - Redesigns that are not optimal.
       - Bad computer system. The computer is a slow or one step smaller version. This causes all computer tasks(like navigation rolls) to take *10 as long.
       - Some system is replaced with a less useful one than standard. Some examples below. If unsuitable use something else.
           - 3d6%*5 of the cabins/bunkrooms ripped out to provide steerage cargo.
           - If multiple drive modules, one is removed for cargo.
           - 3d6%*5 of the cabins/bunkrooms ripped out to add some establishments.
           - A cargo hold converted to open space like a small garden, game court or something.
       - Worse armor: The ship was built with one step worse armor.
       - Nonstandard components. Some of the components to build the ship are non standard. They work as well as the normal, but finding spares is really hard.
       - Non/is streamlined: If the base ship is streamlined, this one is not and the opposite. 
       - Wasted space: One of the ship modules is waste space instead. Typically it is a cargo hold.

Price is reduced down to about *0.1 price for a hulk to be broken up for materials.
