Some updated/modified/expanded options for starships for Mongoose 2nd.

Fuel scoops collect 10% of the ship's total mass in tons of unrefined fuel per 'pass'.

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.
