Used in building and repairing almost everything, space grade plastoys (plastic-metal alloys), play a massive role in ship building. It can be bought from most ports, stolen, or made out of metal and plastic with fabrication equipment. Each resource represents a pallet-sized crate of plastoy plates, ingots, and pipes.

___

Used to power modules, power comes from power generating modules such as the fission reactor. Most modules will consume power in order to provide passive and active bonuses to your ship and your crew, so the more power you have, the more modules you'll be able to sustain. Power is not required to construct modules.

___

Used as a measure of the durability of ship modules and walls. When this reaches 0, walls, doors, and airlocks, are completely destroyed, being fully removed from play. When this reaches 0 for other modules, they enter a damaged state where they no longer provide any passive or active bonuses, and can be repaired out of combat for half the resources (rounded to nearest whole number) that they cost to build. Takes damage 1:1 from lancer sources, and largely reduced damage, if any at all, from starfinder sources.

___

Thrust is a measure of your ship's ability to change its velocity. It is used in overcoming thrust requirements such as escaping gravity, dodging attacks, or repositioning in combat. The more thrusters you have, combustion or ion, the more thrust you will be able to output. More on this in the Maneuvers section!

Tiles are the hexagonal spaces that make up the map of the ship. Every Module takes up a certain pattern of tiles, sometimes multiples.

___

When a module is destroyed it is removed from play entirely. It is gone.

___

A module is considered damaged when it has no ❤️health. It ceases to function until repaired.

___

Anywhere that is inside airtight space enclosed by walls, doors, or airlocks aboard your ship is considered interior. If an interior-only module is in an exterior space, it ceases to function until it is inside again. More on airtight spaces [[here|Starfinder Ship Building/1 ❗Information❗/Building Mechanics#walls-doors-and-airlocks]].

___

The module will explode when it is reduced to ❤️0 health. This does 10 damage to modules and other entities extending out 2 tiles from each tile that the exploding module occupies. This damage will damage walls and project through them if the walls are destroyed by the blast.

___

This module can take burn damage, and when taking burn damage, its burn increases by one. When destroyed, it leaves fire on the ground of each of its tiles. Fire will last on the tile for 10 turns and deal 1 burn to mechs when starting their turn in it or moving through it. It will do 10 persistent fire damage to starfinder characters, with the persistent burn damage stacking up by 10 if they already are affected by persistent fire damage (so 10, then 20, then 30, etc.).

___

About 20 tiles away from the ship. Mech combat range.

___

Distance between most planets' surface and upper atmosphere.

___

Allows communication to underground places, getting worse the further underground it is. Can communicate in space across the whole system, with a few minutes of delay based on distance.

___

Essentially uses the starfinder system for starfinder stuff and the lancer system for mechs. (I'll add the specific rules to this section later and details about the gravity generator)

The away side of a ship or other object is the side not currently facing you. For instance, the right side if your ship is on their left, or the front side if your ship is behind them. Weapons that can strike at away sides have some form of homing or other mechanism that allows their shots to bend around behind an enemy.
