Hello everybody!
Stoic: The vessel behaves like a beast of burden, plodding but reliable. Due to its somewhat plodding behaviour,
whenever the crew would gain Profit Factor from an Endeavour, reduce the amount gained by 1. However, whenever
one of the ship’s Component’s becomes damaged or unpowered, roll 1d10. On a 7 or higher, the ship shrugs off the
damage and it is ignored.
1) How am I supposed to explain in game terms the reduction in profit factor? Ok, my ship is "plodding but reliable"... so what? They pay me less for that?
2) Does the malus apply to multiple ships? Do I earn 0 PF for having an armada of reliable ships?
3) Isn't the malus too much? I can handle -1 speed or -4 hull integrity, but -1 PF is a LOT in RT terms.
I don't understand it quite well, since the other machine spirit oddities are ship-related, while this is endeavour-related.
