[ +- ] Starship Configuration
Holographic Controls: These advanced pilot controls give a DM+2 on initiative rolls in starship combat.
Fuel Scoops: The Wayward Wind can skim and process hydrogen from gas giants and bodies of water, effectively providing free fuel when such features are present in a star system.
Early Jump: The Wayward Wind's J-Drive is able to operate closer to gravitational fields than regular J-Drives. Whereas the safe distance away from a large astral body for entering/leaving Jump space is 100 diameters away from that object, it is only 90 diameters for the Wayward Wind.
Stealth Jump: The Wayward Wind's J-drive is designed to emit minimum radiation when coming out of Jump space. Detecting a ship equipped with a stealth J-drive emerging into real space requires is a Formidable (14+) task.
Passenger Space: There are eight staterooms and 8 low berths (cryogenic pods) available to rent out to passengers when travelling between systems. The staterooms are luxurious compared to most vessels providing passenger transport in this region. Presumably, the crew will occupy 4 of the 8 staterooms.
Cargo: The Wayward Wind can hold up to 43.75 Displacement Tons* of cargo in its cargo hold. She's equipped with a magnetic cargo scoop for pulling in cargo while in space.
Damaged Memory Core: It turns out the damaged memory core is physically intact, but it is unreadable and unwritable. The Walston techs can't figure out what's wrong with it, and Goldie does not seem able to interact with this memory in any way. A more sophisticated diagnostic at a class-A or class-B starport may provide more answers.

Seally's Analysis: After the ship report is in, Seally finalizes her report on profitable uses of the Wayward Wind in its current shape.Courier: Carrying mail is lucrative, and Zuni's history with the IISS can help the ship acquire mail contracts.
Haul Freight: The ship doesn't have a big cargo hold, but with a Jump-2 drive, you can get cargo from place to place a lot faster than the usual free traders that ply these space lanes.
Transport Passengers: The ship can carry small amounts of passengers between systems to offset operational costs. The ship doesn't look great on the outside, but the inside is now quite luxurious.
Salvage: You might be able to acquire Structural, Technical, and Cosmetic RU directly by conducting salvage missions.
Covert Operations: Given the ship's stealth Jump Drive and very fast Manoeuvre Drive, it might be well suited for covert operations, such as smuggling, extraction, blockade running, and corporate espionage.
Once the ship is fixed up, it will likely be one of the most advanced vessels in the subsector, able to take on a multitude of roles and manage risks more effectively.
* - A Displacement Ton (abbreviated as dTon or dT), a unit of volume is equal about 14 cubic meters. It is derived from the volume of a ton (mass) of liquid hydrogen, the most common fuel used by starships.
[ +- ] Ongoing Repairs
Alerio's been tracking an itemized list of repairs still needed for the Wayward Wind, and the estimated expenses.
Hull Microfractures
When built, the Wayward Wind had a hull value of 88 rather than the 80 she would have had with conventional shipbuilding materials. However, her age and the battle damage she suffered has reduced this to a mere 40. Without extensive repairs, the Wayward Wind is rather fragile.General Systems
The Wayward Wind’s maintenance costs are 200% what a ship of this type should normally require (currently, Cr5314/month). The extra cost is absorbed in replacing minor systems and components, and ongoing loses through leaks, spoilage and other ongoing costs.Missing Hardpoint
The entire turret mechanism for the ventral weapon mount was destroyed by a direct hit from a fusion weapon. A full repair will enable a newly purchased turret or barbette weapon to be mounted.Manoeuvre Drive
Problems in the M-drive persist. Remedying this problem requires a proper diagnostic of the drive (requiring 3-4 days and partial dismantling of the drive system) which will indicate the level of repair required. If the drive cut out in battle or during operations in a gravity field, the results could be catastrophic.Jump Drive
The Wayward Wind’s jump drive is fully functional, but a little ... wayward. Fully fixing the drive means an in-depth inspection and testing of all components. The drive will need to be dismantled (a process requiring 3D days of work) and the problems carefully catalogued.Holographic Hull
The damage to the outer hull disabled the network of holographic projectors on the outside of the ship, which allows the ship to blend in visually with its surroundings (though still visible to other kinds of sensors).

OOC:
Each Structural RU assigned to repairing the hull increases Hull value by 2D, to a maximum of 88.The Wayward Wind’s maintenance costs are 200% what a ship of this type should normally require (currently, Cr5314/month). The extra cost is absorbed in replacing minor systems and components, and ongoing loses through leaks, spoilage and other ongoing costs.
OOC:
Each Structural or Technical RU assigned to making general repairs reduces the extra operating cost by 20%, to a maximum reduction of 100%, which represents a return to normal operating costs (Cr2657/month).The entire turret mechanism for the ventral weapon mount was destroyed by a direct hit from a fusion weapon. A full repair will enable a newly purchased turret or barbette weapon to be mounted.
OOC:
This requires 1 Structural RU and 2 Technical RU.Problems in the M-drive persist. Remedying this problem requires a proper diagnostic of the drive (requiring 3-4 days and partial dismantling of the drive system) which will indicate the level of repair required. If the drive cut out in battle or during operations in a gravity field, the results could be catastrophic.
OOC:
Any time a double-1 comes up on a Pilot check, the drive cuts out, and the ship is without manoeuvre drive for that round. Remedying the problem will require 3D Technical RU and a further 3 days of rebuilding the drive.The Wayward Wind’s jump drive is fully functional, but a little ... wayward. Fully fixing the drive means an in-depth inspection and testing of all components. The drive will need to be dismantled (a process requiring 3D days of work) and the problems carefully catalogued.
OOC:
This problem imposes DM-2 on all skill checks associated with the Jump Drive, which increases the chance of a serious misjump. Remedying this is a two-stage process. It can be reduced to DM -1 by the replacement of various components with fairly obvious defects. This will require one day and one Technical RU. 3D Technical RU will be required to make good the defects, with installation and reassembly taking 1-2 more days.The damage to the outer hull disabled the network of holographic projectors on the outside of the ship, which allows the ship to blend in visually with its surroundings (though still visible to other kinds of sensors).
OOC:
Requires 1 Structural RU and 1 Technical RU for full restoration.[ +- ] Ship Repair Mechanics Explained
Expenses for repairs are tracked in Repair Units (RU), which are divided into 3 categories: Cosmetic (Cr100,000), Structural (Cr250,000), and Technical (Cr750,000). A single ship share awarded in character creation can be traded for a million credits in RU. Your crate still contains Cr750,000 worth of RU, for you to divide up as you like.
Obviously, a Cosmetic RU cannot be used to patch a hull breach or replace a burned out console, but to do the repair job properly (so the ship is restored in appearance as well as function) requires an expenditure of five Cosmetic RU for every Structural or Technical RU expended. Otherwise, your ship will start to look like the Millennium Falcon, with parts sticking out at all end. Having a damaged ship, or a ship that isn't cosmetically repaired, can affect your ship's reputation and give negative modifiers to certain rolls at the referee's discretion.
Repairs need to be undertaken at a suitably advanced starport, either Class-A or Class-B. There are several within 2 weeks' jump from your current location.
