There is a similar thread on the board that does not cover my question.

I have the 2nd Ed. Core book. The R&E Rules Update on this page has a chart for improving ships, vehicles, and weapons. If the maximum increase is + 1d+2, how does the Falcon get it's ratings?

I am assuming that there is a difference between improving and upgrading.

Please help me understand.

Also, 1st Ed. had rules for improving character weapons. Did I miss them in 2nd?

I'm pretty sure that the rule upgradeing a blasters damage is actually under the descrption of the skill 'blaster repair' (not positive as I am on a train and my book r&e is at home)

And the falcon is so good due to upgrades (replacing parts for better ones) and not modifications (improving an existing part).

And jury rigging as well.

Of course there is jury rigging, I thought it went hand in hand with the Falcon. Wink

Jury-Rigging is fun for the whole family, as long as you have a wild die that doesnt roll 1's: Shoot a sporting blaster pistol with the punch of an repeating blaster, wake the entire populace of Coruscant when you overtake the current swoop champion on his bike with your trusty Action IV Bulk Freighter in the middle of the night or reach your girlfriend on the next star system with your wrist-communicator! Until you roll that dreaded one on the action die... Wink

Yupo. The modification maxes in the book are for SAFELY increasing them. Then you get to inc via jury rigging.!
