 ====== Using space ships ======
 ===== Starting Starships =====
-Base time for regular start is Minutes equal to the object length for the ship SM. (10 min for sm 4, 15 for sm 5, 20 for sm 6 and so on) and requires Pilot(High performance space craft), Electronics Operation(sensors),Mechanic(spaceships), Mechanic(Reactionless), Mechanic(Fusion Reactor) rolls, all at +4.

Failure by 1 or 2 still succeeds, but you do not notice any eventual problems.
-This requires as many crew as indicated in the ship entry.
+This requires as many crew as indicated in the ship entry. Having less crew means that people need to do multiple tasks an take a longer time. You can also freely take extra time and get time bonuses. You can do any part or all faster by taking -1 to the roll for each -SM time unit.

-Roll a HT roll for the ship on each start.
-On fail see below for effects.
-Normal launch notices the problem on the skill roll rolled above.
-Notes: \\
-Each skill roll given under Skills requires a separate person or else take at minimum the multiple in time.\\
-Quick launch is either from standby or by not doing the checklist and hoping for best(Cold Quick launch).\\
+Roll a HT roll for the ship on each start.  On fail see below for effects. The problems are noticed on the skill rolls rolled above.
+If the ship is on standby, divide time to start by 10.
 ===== Takeoff/Landing =====
 Each takeoff and landing roll HT roll. On fail see below for effects.

 Typical skills needed: [[skills#spaceship_maintain_repair]]
+For SM +10 or larger Look up the workspaces in each module and the repair skills for that module. Each module needs 20 hours of maintenance*workspaces/week using that skill.
+For lower SM ships use table below for each system required maintain/week. If there is no engine room, double the time required and the maintenance must be preformed externally.
+^Ship SM|4|5|6|7|8|9|
+^1 module Time|1.5min|4min|12min|40min|2hr|6hr|
+^Typical Full ship time|20 min|1hr|3hr|10hr|32hr|96hr|
-They list the ammount of time needed for each skill weekly(5 days). Someone with skill 12+ must spend that time maintaining the system(Note that extra time gives a bonus, thus if you have a skill 10, you could spend four times normal time to get +2 and thus make it effective skill 10). If some system gets too low maintenance it reduces the ship HT rolls by -1/starting 10% of total maintenance requirement.

 One can leave systems on standby, they require the normal maintenance at 4 times normal interval.
-Ships that have been on storage long time also require maintenance. Maintenance requirement for a turned off ship is: 1/16th on normal planetary surface, 1/256th in vacuum, proper hangar or other protected conditions. All that missed maintenance should be done before starting such ship.

 ===== HT roll results =====
 The different things above call for HT rolls. All but start roll allow a save to be made: Roll against the appropriate skill of the one who did the previous maintenance on that component. On success nothing happens, but the near failure is clear and if no maintenance done until next failed HT roll the maintenance roll is counted as failure unless the maintenance roll was a critical success. On fail, lookup the HT roll result, on critical failure shift result to one worse:\\
 Critical Success: Next 1d HT rolls will succeed automatically.\\
-On Fail: some system has a problem that has to be corrected. Roll random system, all actions with it are at -1/fail by. Fixing it requires +0 roll with suitable repair skill and (HT roll fail by)^3 minutes. Parts need is: fail by-1d%. \\

-Critical failure: one system fails badly and requires 3d% parts to fix and 3d hours. 1d other systems fail as under fail. Roll 1d each to get "fail by".\\
