Jury rigged repairs

[Ning Leihrec]

Jury-rigging for in-combat quick repairs:

- jury rigged repairs do not give bonuses, they only restore lost performance due to damage. Shields, maneuverability, etc.
- difficulty and time of jury rig repair depends upon the condition of the vessel:
shields blown: moderate / 2 rounds
lightly damaged: difficult / 3 rounds
heavily damaged: very difficult / 4 rounds
severely damaged: heroic / 5 rounds
- jury rigged repairs do not alter the condition of the vessel to improve the difficulty for further jury rigged repairs.
- no more than 1D of lost performance may be restored at a time.
- no more than 3D may be restored total.
- if a 1 is rolled on a restored die that restored die is automatically lost in addition to the results of the standard mishap roll.
- if a 1 is rolled on the mishap table not only does the vessel shut down but it also suffers damage equal to the most recent hit received... i.e. lightly dmg, heavily dmg, etc.

It looks good! I don't like to permit that in combat, but it's quite interesting.

Do jury rigged repairs hold up or do they only last a short time?

Like with full repairs, do you need repair parts on hand to do these jury rigged repairs?

They are short lived by design given that whenever a restored die rolls a 1 that repair fails and the die is lost whether there's a mishap or not. Also, the characters would probably want to dismantle the rig in favor of proper repairs as soon as they're clear of danger since keeping it in place is likely to cause more damage to the ship.

As far as necessary parts, I would play it similar to standard jury rigging... The characters using available resources in unconventional ways.
