Spaceships - "House" systems

[jacobmuller]

Smart-Metal
This is the latest materials technology; limited availability. A smart-metal hull can be reconfigured for Combat or Travel, Unstreamlined or Streamlined, and it can alter its dDR per Angled Force screens. Design the ship as usual, the dDR is for combat mode; Travel mode allows double the access, storage and living area but halves dDR and is SM+1. When reconfiguring, make a HT check; failure indicates something not where it should be; critical failure indicates a hull breach. Smart Metal can also repair hull breaches by spreading its armour. Use the stats for TL10 nanocomposite but costx5; no-armour is priced as dDR 0.5. LC1.
Polymetal
Polymetal vessels can be shipped as a homogenous mass and formed as they are needed; space saving, disposable, transport system. They can change shape once; the next change causes destabilization and meltdown. Use the stats for TL10 nanocomposite but costx3; no-armour is priced as dDR 0.5. LC1.
