Fragment Upgrades

Surviving the Shatter is no small feat; making a life in it is an entirely different endeavour. When you first claim a Fragment, it is little more than a drifting expanse of earth and stone. While it may provide safe passage across the void, a barren rock offers little defence against marauders, few resources to sustain a crew, and no comforts to make the long journeys bearable. By investing Shard and dedicating downtime to its development, your Fragment can become much more than just a vessel. Whether your goal is to build an impenetrable fortress, a lucrative trading nexus, or a mobile sanctuary for a growing crew of Hirelings, the upgrades you choose will dictate how your Fragment weathers the endless dangers of the Shatter. ___ ### Aeos Upgrades These upgrades are applied directly to your existing Aeos technologies and do not require any additional space aboard a Fragment. They are either carved into existing systems, added to the Lighthouse, or to the sub-level beneath it. ##### Atmos Carvings The following upgrades are carved directly onto the Atmos Crystal of a Fragment or Skiff. Most Fragments don't require an Atmos Crystal to function, so an appropriately sized Udendriate crystal of polished or better quality will need to be supplied. >**Aegis Carving - 15 ![[credit.png]]** >- Forms a protective barrier around the projected atmosphere. >- Halves the damage from projectiles or magic entering through the barrier. >- Doesn't stop physical entry, but requires halve movement to get through. > > > >**Circadian Cycle - 5 ![[credit.png]]** >- Will dim light entering the projected atmosphere during night periods, allowing for better rest or dim light conditions. >- Can be manually controlled or run automatically as required. > > > >**Environmental Control - 10 ![[credit.png]]** >- Grants minor control over the ambient weather within the projected atmosphere. >- Can counteract the negative effects of weather or temperature by 1 step. >- Can be manually controlled or run automatically as required. > > > >**Gravitational Anchor - 8 ![[credit.png]]** >- Forces the prioritization of the gravitational field within the projected atmosphere in the event of atmosphere intersections. >- May only be applied to Unbound Fragments & Skiffs. >- Additionally allows for direct gravitational control. > > > >**Insanity Shielding - 15 ![[credit.png]]** >- Helps to protect against travel through the Deep Void. >- Grants advantage on Deep Void saving throws within the projected atmosphere. >- Does not negate any effects that occur as a result of Deep Void travel. > > > >**Larger Atmos Field - Cost Varies** >- Increases the size of the projected atmosphere >- Requires new crystal, any additional carvings will need to be re-carved. >- Fragment Cost: 25 ![[credit.png]] + 5,000 ![[shard.png]] for each replaced carving. >- Skiff Cost: 12.5 ![[credit.png]] + 5,000 ![[shard.png]] for each replaced carving. ##### Detondrin Thrusters Required to direct an Unbound Fragment through the Void at will, Detondrin Thrusters are highly explosive, incredibly dangerous, and very, very fast. Any given Fragment may only have a maximum of three Thrusters mounted to it, of varying qualities. > **Crude Thruster- 1,600 ![[shard.png]]** >- Movement Power - 1pt each >- 40% chance of temporary failure every 8 hours. > > > >**Basic Thruster - 8,000 ![[shard.png]]** >- Movement Speed - 2pts each >- 20% chance of temporary failure every 8 hours. > > > >**Enhanced Thruster - 16 ![[credit.png]]** >- Movement Power - 3pts each >- 0% chance of temporary failure every 8 hours. | Movement Power | Travel Time for 1 Jump | Max Jumps per Day | Fuel Req. Per Jump | | :------------: | :--------------------: | :---------------: | :----------------: | | 1 | 24 hrs. | 1 | 1 Barrels | | 2-3 | 16 hrs. | 1.5 | 2 Barrels | | 4-5 | 8 hrs. | 3 | 4 Barrels | | 6-8 | 4 hrs. | 6 | 6 Barrels | | 9 | 2 hrs. | 12 | 8 Barrels | ##### Fuel Tanks Tanks allow additional fuel to be stored. They are kept below the surface of a Fragment on it's sub-level. Each Fragment can have up to a maximum of 4 fuel tanks. The tanks are hooked up in sequence, so each tank added adds to the combined maximum fuel capacity of the Fragment. >**Fuel Tank - 600** ![[shard.png]] >- Capacity - 12 Barrels of Fuel > >**Expanded Tank - 1,800** ![[shard.png]] >- Capacity - 24 Barrels of Fuel ##### Power Converter A Hulcronium converter that recycles residual heat from Detondrin Thrusters to generate a steady supply of electricity across your Fragment. A basic Generator provides enough power to keep essential lights on, power minor appliances, and satisfy the power requirements of any nearby buildings. >**Crude Power Converter - 2,500 ![[shard.png]]** >- Powers 3 Lots > >**Basic Power Converter - 7,500 ![[shard.png]]** >- Powers 6 Lots > >**Enhanced Power Converter - 20 ![[credit.png]]** >- Powers 9 Lots ##### Signal Generator A signal generator allows for the sending and receiving of ECHO transmissions across the void. It should be noted that the signals come in raw, so having a crew member that can decode ECHO is essential. The signal generator is installed in the lighthouse for maximum transmission. >**Crude Signal Generator - 2,000 ![[shard.png]]** >- Range: Current fragment zone > >**Basic Signal Generator - 10 ![[credit.png]]** >- Range: Adjacent fragment zones > >**Enhanced Signal Generator - 20 ![[credit.png]]** >- Range: Entire cluster ##### Thruster Re-ignitor - Cost: 8,000 ![[shard.png]] A vital upgrade for Fragment owners that prefer to utilize cheaper thrusters, a re-ignitor will automatically restart thrusters after a malfunction without user input. Installed in the Lighthouse. Can be turned on or off as needed. ___ ### Buildings You Fragment can be outfitted with many building that serve functional purposes.

While your Armoury is stocked, your [[Defending Your Fragment#Militia|Militia]] are harder to kill. When your Militia defend your Fragment, roll 1d8 in place of each d6 you would normally roll.

During an 8-hour period, you take inventory of all the Defensive Turrets on your Fragment and purchase new ammunition, at a cost of 100 ![[shard.png]] per turret. The ammunition of your Defensive Turrets is expended whether a [[Defending Your Fragment#Raids|Raid]] was successful or not, leaving your Turrets depleted until the [[Downtime Activities#Maintenance|Maintenance]] downtime activity is performed and the costs are paid to restock them. If your Defensive Turret is staffed by a hireling, this inventory can be performed without your presence, although you are still required to cover the cost. Your Defensive Turret can be expanded twice. The first expansion reinforces the turret to Heavy Munitions, allowing it to roll 4d10 towards the [[Defending Your Fragment#Mustering a Defence|Defence Score]].
