Keshani & Collan: A little problem

[Keshani]

"Ok." She replied, unsure where this was going. Had she done something wrong?

[Collan]

Collan scuffed a foot. Keshani could see he was a little embarrassed(?) or was it hesitant?

"So...I've got another favor to ask. I'd like to scan the ship for any hidden compartments. I'm wondering Ch'lana hid any other Jedi artifacts. But I need a scanner. Could you modify the one you built earlier?"

[Keshani]

She thought about it for a minute. Any emotions that Collan felt were clearly missed by the girl.

"Yeah, I can do it," she said, "but I think it would be easier to build a new one instead of modifying the other one. "

[Collan]

Collan nodded, "Thanks Keshani. I appreciate it."

[ooc: Craig...how do we proceed here?]

[GM Craig]

[The basic rule of thumb is that something can be improved 5 pips (+1D+2) corresponding to Easy, Moderate, Difficult, Very Difficult and Heroic difficulties, one pip per attempt. Time increases with each level of improvement.

Keshani can do a couple of things:

Option 1
Sensor Pack
Type: Portable scanning device
Skill: Sensors
Range: 5/15/30 m
Game Notes: Detects presence of comm signals, density, mass, volume, movement, and energy type and intensity. +1 to +1D to Sensors, depending on her roll. It will take her three days days to put that together.

Option 2
She can make you a visor/goggles that gives you +1 to Search and takes her a day. +2 takes her 5 days. +1D takes her 14 days.

<Note: I'm pulling this from memory, so don't quote me on the timings later.>

[Collan]

How much time is left in the trip? If less than a week, then I'd like the Sensors option. Otherwise, I'm good with a +2 bonus from the visor. It also depends on needed time to search.

[GM Craig]

Figure a week at this point.

[Collan]

I'll go with the visor then. Will a thorough and complete search take a day or two days?

[GM Craig]

Two days, easy.

[Trax]

From what I recall reading about improving equipment, the pip increases can't be consecutive, there has to be some time in between each increase.

[GM Craig]

Thanks Ken. I'll stick with my timelines until I can confirm.

She can make you a visor/goggles that gives you +1 to Search and takes her a day. +2 takes her 5 days. +1D takes her 14 days.

Page 61 of the rule book;

Modification Limit: Stats may only be increased one "pip," one Move level or one hyperdrive level at a time. For instance, a maneuverability of 1D must be improved to 1D+1 and 1D+2 before it can be modified to 2D.
Increases shown in the charts below reflect the modification above the original stat: the owner is constantly replacing and upgrading parts of the original ship's systems. Using these rules, no system may be improved more than +1D+2, or more than 4 moves.
A new repair improvement roll can be made every month of game time.

[Collan]

So that is for my blaster right? The visor is a new piece of tech.

[GM Craig]

Thanks Ken.

Correction: She can build a handheld scanner that will give you +1 on sensor rolls. or a visor that gives you +1 on search rolls.

[Collan]

Which can I use concentration with?
