Ship Crew

Crew members within 2" of each other are considered to be operating in a squad. However crew members are free to join and leave squads as often as they wish.

Crew Members come in three categories: Green, Able Crewman, and Veteran Spacer.

General Skills

Zero G Ops (2 Points) - If the ship looses gravity the unit may move as normal. Treat Zero G as Rough Terrain for units without the Zero G skill.

Security Access (1 Points) - Crewmen with Security Access may lock and open locked doors for no action points.

I know this ship…(4 Points) - Grants the crewman the Quick Move Skill (1 AP = 1½") only while on his ship.

Captain

…Like the Back of my Hand (3 Points) - Able to use ships passages, crawlways, ducts, etc, to move through the ship. If trapped in an area with no apparent escape the crewmember with this skill can roll 1d10 and is moved with those in his squad that many inches away. Only useable twice per game.

Self Destruct (4 Points) - If half of the crew is killed and loss looks inevitable the captain may order the ship to self destruct. Roll 1d10 a roll equal to or under the captains CO initiates a successful self destruct sequence. Appropriate flashing red lights and alarms will go off. The following Game turn the ships explodes killing all aboard. Units may be saved if they start the next turn in an escape pod (if the ship is equipped with them) or The following modifiers apply to the Self Destruct Die Roll:

Ships Officers

Engineer

…Like the Back of my Hand (3 Points) - Able to use ships passages, crawlways, ducts, etc, to move through the ship. If trapped in a room with blocked exits the crewmember with this skill can roll 1d10 and is moved with those in his squad that many inches away. Only useable twice per game.

Jam the Door! (2 Points) - The engineer jams the door and only the engineer can open it! (I sure hope nothing happens to the engineer…)

Suck Vacuum! (4 Points) - The engineer seals off one part of the ship and exposes it to vacuum! Any models without appropriate protection perish, or even better are blown out the ship as the air escapes out the open airlock (Roll vs ST to not get sucked out of the ship). The area of the ship affected must physically have an airlock.

Ships Medic

Some ships are not large enough, important enough or rich enough to afford a fully fledged ships doctor. Medics are trained to handle most common injuries and are able to stabilize severely injured crewmen and place them into cold sleep until the ship can reach a medical facility.

Medic Skill (2 Points) - When in base to base contact with a model reduced to 0 wounds roll 1d10. If in the ships medical bay subtract 1 from the roll. Costs 2 AC per attempt.

1-2 the injured Model is revived and may move as normal.

3-4 the injured model is revived but is unable to move. They may however perform other actions that do not require use of legs. (For example, staying behind and providing cover fire for his other crew members while they attempt to get away)

5-7 the injured crew member is stabilized but unconscious. Crew members may attempt to carry the injured member by moving at ½ speed.

8-10 He's dead Jim.

Ships Doctor

Some Captains will refuse to ship out unless they have a qualified ships doctor on board. They know that these guys and gals can come in very handy. From curing some exotic xeno disease to resuscitating the mostly dead, these guys are worth their weight in Credit.

Doctor Skill (3 Points) - When in base to base contact with a model reduced to 0 wounds roll 1d10. If in the ships medical bay subtract 1 from the roll. 3 AC per attempt.

1-3the injured Model is revived and may move as normal.

4-6 the injured model is revived but is unable to move. They may however perform other actions that do not require use of legs. (For example, staying behind and providing cover fire for his other crew members while they attempt to get away)

7-8 the injured crew member is stabilized but unconscious. Crew members may attempt to carry the injured member by moving at ½ speed. The Doctor may try to revive the patient next turn. The second roll is the crewmembers status for the rest of the game.

9-10 He's dead Jim

Security Officer:

Charged with the security of the ship and any defensive or offensive weapons the ship may possess. A fat, slow merchant vessel is often no matched for an armed pirate or mercenary ship, but sometimes a veteran Security officer may have a trick or two up his sleeve.

Bag O Tricks (10 Points) - The security officer does something sneaky such as electrifying the hull of the ship or uses tractor beams to orient the ship so the airlocks don't meet., In effect delaying all the invaders from boarding at once. During turn one the attacker may only place one squad in the starting area. On subsequent turns the attacker must roll 5 or less for each squad to bring them onto the ship.

Advanced Ships Locker (10 points) Having a licensed security officer allows for use of an Advanced Ships Locker containing more powerful weapons. Note: The point cost of each weapon used must still be applied to the model using it. Only one heavy weapon may be selected.

Follow Me Boys!(10 Points)All units in the same squad with the Security officer get a bonus of 1 to all ranged and CC attacks.

Civilians

Under Unusual circumstances they may be given skills. Most of the time they are in the way and running in the wrong direction.

Chief Scientist

Shooting at Shadows (10 Points) - Is an improved version of the I Blinded Them with Science skill. Roll 1D10 divide the result by 2. The defenders are granted that many "sensor shadow" blips that the defending player may use like the blips representing actual units. "Sensor Shadow" blips are revealed when an enemy unit is in Line of site. This skill is to be used before the game starts.

L33t Hacker (10 Points) - An improved version of the Hacker Skill. In addition to remotely locking and unlocking doors, the Chief Scientist creates all types of distractions. Warning sirens going off, flashing lights, sewage pipes exploding, etc. Grants a negative modifier of 1 to all attacking units. The Chief Scientist must stay in base to base contact with a terminal for this skill to be active. 5 AC

Scientist

I Blinded Them With Science (5 Points) - The attacking player may normally see the defending players units. However with this skill the scientist creates field that scrambles the attacking players sensors. Replace the defending players units with generic markers that represents "blips" on a motion detector. Once the defending units are in line of sight, replace the "blip" with the appropriate unit. This skill is to be used before the game starts.

Hacker - (5 Points) Can lock and unlock any door on the ship remotely. Must be in contact with a terminal. 3 AC

VIP

Money Talks (10 Points) - Roll 2D10. If one die is 10, the VIP bribes the attacking units to allow him safe passage. The VIP does not count toward victory conditions. If two 10's are rolled the VIP pays off the attackers and the leave. Instant win for the defending team. Set up and play another game! Only usable once per game. However if two 1's are rolled the attackers believe they can have a very valuable hostage and will stop at nothing to capture the VIP. Attackers get a bonus of 1 to all CO rolls.

Body Guard

Must stay in the squad with the person they are protecting.

Self Sacrifice (3 Points) - A model with the sacrifice ability may take all damage originally intended for another model. When damage is assigned to a target model, all damage may be redirected directly on a model with the sacrifice ability within 2". The model to be sacrificed immediately takes the damage which may not be saved in any way. The originally targeted model takes no damage or effects of any damage whatsoever. Blast weapons and teardrop template weapon damage may not be redirected onto a sacrificial model.

Honestly, I think medic type skills really bog-down gameplay and should be as streamlined as possible. I suggest limiting outcomes to three:

1- Not dead- may resume normal gameplay next turn
2- Injured- Not dead but unable to continue fighting. Removed from play but does not count towards enemy victory
3- DEAD

I'll leave determining what rolls do what to you but again suggest the medic should be more green than the doc, right now there's no statistical incentive to buy the doc over the medic (which means you might need to change the prices too).

Ships Medic

Medic Skill (2 Points) - When in base to base contact with a model reduced to 0 wounds roll 1d10. If in the ships medical bay subtract 1 from the roll. Every wound received over the total wounds of the Model serve as a + modifier. Example: A unit with 1 wound is hit twice by an automatic weapon causing 2 points of damage. Since the unit can only take 1 wound, the other point counts as a +1 modifier for the medic. (The hit unit is pretty messed up…) Costs 2 AC per attempt.

1 the injured Model is revived and may move as normal.

2-5 Stabilized. The Medic has stabilized the injured unit. The medic may make only one more attempt to revive the injured unit with a -1 die modifier next turn.

6-10 He's dead Jim.

Modifiers:

In Medical Bay -1, For each doctor or medic in base to base contact -1, for each point of damage received for over the total wounds of the unit +1.

Ships Doctor

Some Captains will refuse to ship out unless they have a qualified ships doctor on board. They know that these guys and gals can come in very handy. From curing some exotic xeno disease to resuscitating the mostly dead, these guys are worth their weight in Credit. Doctors may only be Able or Veteran Crewmen.

Doctor Skill (4 Points) - When in base to base contact with a model reduced to 0 wounds roll 1d10. If in the ships medical bay subtract 1 from the roll. Every wound received over the total wounds of the Model serve as a + modifier. Example: A unit with 1 wound is hit twice by an automatic weapon causing 2 points of damage.

1-2 The injured Model is revived and may move as normal.

3-7 Stabilized. The Doctor has stabilized the injured unit. The Doc may make only one more attempt to revive the injured unit with a -1 die modifier next turn.

8-10 He's dead Jim.

Engineer

…Like the Back of my Hand (3 Points) - Able to use ships passages, crawlways, ducts, etc, to move through the ship. If trapped in a room with blocked exits the crewmember with this skill can roll 1d10 and is moved with those in his squad that many inches away. Only useable twice per game.

Jam the Door! (2 Points) - The engineer jams the door and only the engineer can open it! (I sure hope nothing happens to the engineer…)

Suck Vacuum! (4 Points) - The engineer seals off one part of the ship and exposes it to vacuum! Any models without appropriate protection perish, or even better are blown out the ship as the air escapes out the open airlock (Roll vs ST to not get sucked out of the ship). The area of the ship affected must physically have an airlock.

In addition the ship may have 1 to 5 repair robots per engineer. While not meant for combat, the robots are often programmed with a rudimentary security protocol and will work under the direction of the chief engineer or Sr. Officers to help protect the ship and crew.
