- | ===== Life Support ===== | ||
- | Each Life Support module allows a ship to have up to 4 crew aboard. Note that this is long term crew. During the Phases and Rounds of a mission, ignore this restriction. A single boarder showing up will not overstress your Life Support but if you were to capture them and bring them home, the ship's Life Support would get overstressed. | ||
- | |||
- | Life Support damage is subject to alien and special abilities but not armor. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Overstressed Life Support ==== | ||
- | |||
- | If there are more characters aboard a ship for a leg of a long space voyage than it has sufficient Life Support, those aboard will suffer damage. For each character aboard the ship that exceeds its carry capacity, each character aboard suffers a die of damage. Thus, each of 6 characters aboard a shp with a capacity for 4 would suffer 2 dice of damage. This damage is luckable but cannot be healed until the end of the campaign turn. | ||

- | ==== Unsupported Life Support ==== | ||
- | |||
- | === Spacewalkers === | ||
- | |||
- | Any character in space that is not aboard a starship or fighter must make an Athletics skill check of 11 at the end of each Phase or suffer 1 die of damage. This is not mitigated by armor but is subject to alien abilities. | ||
- | |||
- | === Broken or Slagged Life Support === | ||
- | |||
- | If all Life Support modules are broken or slagged, all characters aboard must make a passive Athletics check of 11 or suffer 1 die of damage at the end of Phase 6. | ||
- | |||
- | === Dying === | ||
- | |||
- | A character with damage exceeding their hit points by 6 or more is dying. They will automatically suffer a die of unsupported Life Support damage at the end of each Round as if their ship's Life Support had failed, unless a successful CPR is performed on them (see [[Personal Damage|page 34]]). If it is, they must make the Athletics check of 11 or suffer unsupported Life Support damage. | ||
- | |||
- | === Upgrade === | ||
- | |||
- | An upgraded Life Support supports an additional crewman. |
