 Some updated/modified/expanded options for starships for Mongoose 2nd.
+==== Bridges ====
+What does a bridge actually do? As well as a place for the captain to sit, they provide some free operator positions which may be used for either sensor operators or gunners.
+^ Size of ship ^ Size of Bridge ^ Operators ^
+| 50 tons or less  | 3 tons  | - |
+| 51-99 tons       | 6 tons  | - |
+| 100-200 tons     | 10 tons | - |
+| 201-1,000 tons   | 20 tons | 1 |
+| 1,001-2,000 tons | 40 tons | 2 |
+| 2,000 tons +     | 60 tons | 4 |
+Positions must be designated as gunnery or sensor operator at time of design, but by default they are sensor operator positions.
 ==== Fuel Processors ====
 ^ TL ^ t/Day ^ Power ^ Cost ^
-|  9 | 20    | 1     | Cr50K   |
+| 9  | 20    | 1     | Cr50K   |
 | 11 | 30    | 2     | Cr100K  |
 | 13 | 50    | 4     | Cr150K  |
 | 15 | 80    | 8     | Cr200K  |
 ==== Fuel Scoops ====
 Fuel scoops collect 10% of the ship's total mass in tons of unrefined fuel per 'pass'.
+=== Gas Giants ===
+It is a Dex + Pilot check of 10+ to obtain 10% of the ship's mass in fuel, which takes 1d6 hours. Staying higher in the atmosphere makes it safer at the expense of taking longer (DM+2 but takes 1d6x4 hours, or DM+4 at 1d6x10 hours etc).
+Each positive point of effect provides a bonus 5% of fuel gained in that attempt.
+Failure can be dangerous.
+  * 8-9: Only 5% of ship mass in fuel is scooped.
+  * 6-7: No useful fuel is obtained.
+  * -5: Loose control
+On loosing control, the ship begins to descend further into the atmosphere. Roll again, on an 8+ the pilot manages to regain control. On less than 6, the ship takes 1d6 damage per point below 6. Keep on rolling until you get 8+. You get to keep the DM used for the initial roll. A fully streamlined ship gains +1.
+If the ship is 1000t or more, damage is x3, if 10,000t or more x10, if 100,000t or more, x30. Armour comes off the damage before the multiplier.
+=== Pumping Water ===
+To pump water from a nearby fresh water source requires INT + Mechanic 6+, takes 1d6 hours to set up all the hoses correctly. If salt water, than -2 DM to the check. On failure, can opt to risk impurities in the fuel which will give DM to jump check for each point of effect, or can simply try again.
+Once connected, gain 5% of ship mass in fuel each hour.
+It takes an hour to disconnect the pumps (or a minute to leave them behind).
+Processing can start once pumping is complete.
+=== Pumping Water Ice ===
+Similar to water, but difficulty and rate of refuelling depends on the temperature.
+^ Temperature ^ INT + Mechanics ^ Fuel Rate  ^
+| 200K+       | 10+             | 5%/2 hours |
+| 100K+       | 12+             | 5%/3 hours |
+| < 100K      | 14+             | 5%/4 hours |
+===== Advanced Technology =====
+Reduced crew requirements needs an advantage. It is one advantage to reduce the crew required by a system by two thirds. This normally only applies to drives and power plants.
