Jam

Jam is a function of a Space ship. Space Ships and other functions can be found here. This allows a space ship too send out a jamming signal with a wide range of possible actions all affecting either Communications or Sensors.

Description

List of possible Actions:

1. Jam Opponent Target Array: This makes it more difficult for a target ship to target any ship for one round. The DC is 10 + Opponent Targeting Value.
2. Scramble Communications Array: This makes it more difficulty for a target ship to communicate. The DC is 12 + Opponent Communications Mod. The target ship must making an opposing Communications check. By default a target ship doesn't know who is scrambling there communications array. The opponent ship must make a Scan check to check if your ship is doing it. The DC for there check is simply 10.
3. Wide Field Jamming Single: This sends a pulse out several AUs (Astronomical Units, which is the average distance between the Sun and the Earth) that can disrupt normal communications and sensor scans. Considered a highly illegal activity though. People traveling in space within range must make a opposing Communications and Sensor check. If one failures that attribute is no longer usable for 20 minutes or until the jamming stops.
4. Scramble Beam: This scrambles transportation technologies and stops the use of transporters. A scramble has to happen before the transporter starts. The DC for this action is the Beam roll. If you exceed the roll by more then 5 there is a 20% chance of the equipment taking a minor damage condition and needing repairs before it can attempt to beam again.

A Jamming unit always requires at least a Hard Point too install.

Associated Ship Attribute: Electronics

Roll: d20 + Electronics Mod

Price: The base price for a Jamming unit is $200,000.

Procure Diff: A Jamming unit is considered illegal and dangerous. The procure difficulty is +2 as must civilization try there damnedest to make sure the average person doesn't get there hands on such an annoying and disrupt peace of technology.
