Cost represents the credits required to be trained in the skill during downtime. This can be ignored for the four starting skills.

---|---|---|---|
Equipment Maintenance | The character knows how to strip, oil and clean weapons, and keep them operational. They can maintain their own equipment for 50c per ranged weapon, and 100c for a suit of armour. Weapon/armour parts of equivalent value found as loot can be used instead of cash. | None | 1000c |

They can also upgrade a light weapon to a heavy weapon for a suitable cost in cash/parts (see equipment). This skill also allows for the creation of relevant crafting blueprints. | Equipment Maintenance | 1500c |
Armour Smithing | The character is capable of repairing other people’s armour using a smithing kit, at a cost of 100c per suit.

With the hacking, lockpicking and demolitions skills any item the character can hack, pick or disarm will have a QR code on it. The player should scan the code and follow the instructions that come up. If an item can be hacked, picked or disarmed then most of the time it will give you a time frame to complete the work. A ref will set a timer for you and you should roleplay carrying out the task. If you pause, the ref will pause the timer. It is also possible the QR code will tell you a task is impossible, or give specific instructions on what you need to do.
All technical skills require a suitably phys-repped toolkit of some kind. See the Other Equipment page for details.
