Seablight Antilles Vessels
This page presents vessels unique to the Blightdark Epoch of the Antilles Archipelago. It also presents vessel-related rules introduced in Seablight: Antilles Print Edition 1.0.
Any of the Boats, Ships, Air Vehicles, and Space Vehicles presented on page 184 of the Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine (BRP) rule book can be used in Seablight Antilles.
Vessel types unique to the Antilles Archipelago of 2467 CE and introduced in Seablight Antilles Print Edition 1.0 are presented on this page.
Vessels used in Seablight Antilles have five additional considerations to the rules presented in the BRP rule book, which are:
- Maintenance
- Departments
- Power Sources
- Responsibilities
- Modules
Seablight Antilles Additional Vessel Rules
MAINTENANCE
Vessels degrade at 1% of HP per 50 kilometres of travel.
Vessel maintenance requires the Repair skill, which may then be combined with Artillery, Craft, Heavy Machine, Research, and/or Technical Skill (GM’s discretion).
Every 5 HP repaired requires 1 cargo of metal or timber.
Common ports of call for vessel repair and maintenance include Bosque Fresco, Habaguanex, Hell Port, Kingston, Freeport Island, Nazau Island, Encore Station, Nueva Esperanza, Pòtoprens, Puerto Ponce, Roker’s Point, and El Castillo.
POWER SOURCES
All vessels use one or more of the following sources of power to achieve propulsion:
- Enhanced Hydrocarbon Engine: These powerful engines created before the Seablight Deluge can use a mix of natural crude oil, petroleum, gas, kerosene, and other matter for combustion. The Zircon Combuster generates 100 Power; Orion V20 generates 150 power; and the Toyzan T3000 generates 250 power.
- Ultracapacitor Battery: A high-powered pre-Deluge battery that is recharged through other power sources, such as hydrocarbon combustion, wind, solar, or water turbines. Stores 50 Power.
- Solar and Wind: Extendable solar cell-threaded liquid-crystal-polymer kinetic ‘smart sails’ are powered by the wind. This power source is dependent on the weather, ranging from 0-100 Power.
- Waves: The Surge Wave Drive turbine uses a combination of fins and springs to passively capture wave energy that is released to propel a vessel forward.This power source is dependent on the weather, ranging from 0-100 Power.
- Fifth-Generation Hovercraft: Air cushion landing craft are efficient, powerful, and quiet, although they require extensive maintenance. Generates 75 Power.
- Turbo-impulse rockets: Combined-cycle turbo-impulse rockets work with enhanced hudrocarbon engines to generate 300 Power for 3-6 hours.
- LA Pellet: Fist-sized balls of deuterium encased in a Chronomium canister that fuel mini- Lampshade Accelerator drives. Well maintained LA Pellets generate tremendous power for decades with minimal radiation. Generates 600 Power.
DEPARTMENTS
Vessels sized 80 or above may be structured into specialised departments. Each department requires an officer. Players and non-player characters that own or work on a vessel may be assigned to a department as an officer or crew.
