Gear and Gadgets

In a galaxy where almost everything is possible, from interplanetary travel in a matter of minutes to the existence of sorcerers who commune with cosmic energy to bend the fabric of reality, the average person can feel relatively small in perspective of the grander scheme.

However, just like how the force flows through every nano-angstrom of the known universe, the capacity to wonder, create and destroy in the face of necessity is a gift shared by every being gifted with sentience.

From that capacity and necessity, invention was born.

Through focused research, daring attempts and hard work, even those with near-negative presence in the force are capable of competing by employing gear and gadgets to level the playing field.

Gear Creation

Gear Crafting can be one hell of a headache, but boy, is the end product worth it. To create your very own Custom Gear, follow these steps:

• First, decide on what you wish to create (Weapon, Gadget, Cybernetic, Armor, etc).

• Make a copy of and complete the Gear Crafting Form and submit it to #crafting-requests, which can be found below.

• Await feedback and approval for the gear.

• Publish an RP-Task, RP-gen or have a guild officer witness the creation of your gear.

There is a single week cooldown between the creation of new gear, with authorization/approval times being subject to availability and complexity of requested gear. 

Gear Limitations

There are no current limitations on the quantity of artifacts you can create. But the finesse to carry all of these around and wield them effectively scales in the following manner:

• Esk Class can hold 1 customized gear at a time.

• Cresh Class can hold up to 2 customized gear at a time.

• Besh Class can hold up to 3 customized gear at a time.

• Aurek Class can hold up to 4 customized gear at a time.

• Senth Class can hold up to 5 customized gear at a time.

You may swap out active gear between combat events if you want to.

Gear Creation Form:

Gear Options

Esk Tier 

• Simple enhancement of weapon one already owns or prototype of unique weapon.

• Simple enhancement of gadget one already owns or prototype of unique gadget.

• Simple enhancement of an already existing design or prototype of a unique cybernetic, droid model , or vehicle. (Requires proficiency in relevant skill)

• Individual Piece of special Armour or Clothing.

Cresh Tier 

• Further enhancement of already existing weapons of choice or specialized weapon.

• Further enhancement of gadget one already owns or creation of more advanced gadget.

• Further enhancement of an already existing design or prototype of a unique cybernetic, droid model , or vehicle. (Requires Expertise in relevant skill).

• Perfection of an already existing design or Creation of next-gen cybernetics, droid models , or vehicles. (Mastery Required)

• Full Set of Armour or Clothing pieces. (All pieces will have the same effect, not unlimited individual artifacts with unique effects for the slot of one). 

Clarifications and Limitations

• If a character ranks up, they may upgrade to the next armor/clothing tier without the need of an RP-task or hosted supervision. For example, a Cresh Class who upgraeds to Aurek Class may automatically select the full armor kit option.

• Enhancement and custom builds of unique weapons and gadgets are by no means a way to bypass organic progression of the NFU skill list (i.e: Creation of a .50 bmg equivalent sniper rifle would still require slugthrower + marksmanship cert.)

Technological Combo-ing Limitations:

• Limiting amount of combined tech to 3 different technological pieces per individual piece. (Exception for Electro Hardened Systems, Body Armor skills)

• For creations that include or revolve around a melee aspect, the maker must have learned their corresponding tier of Melee Form.

For example:

• A Flamethrower modified to spew a highly corrosive chemicals instead of fuel counts as having 2 combined technologies added (Flamethrower, Biochem Proficiency).

• An Electro Hardened Vibro Sword that can discharge electricity counts as having 2 combined technologies added (Advanced Electro Weaponry, Vibro Weaponry) as well as Proficiency in Blades.

• An Electro Hardened Disruptor Rifle with a Grenade Launcher underbarrel and an Energized Monomolecular Corded bayonet counts as having all 3 combined technologies added (Disruptor Weapons Authorization, High Explosive Certification, Energized Monomolecular Cord) as well as Expertise in Blades.

Special Rules for Technological Scaling:

For special designs of Cybernetics, Droids and Vehicles, the following scaling is followed based off their knowledge on relevant craft skill:

• Proficiency: Allows for integration of up to Esk Class technology and weapons.

• Expertise: Allows for integration of up to Cresh class technology and weapons.

• Mastery: Allows for integration of up to Aurek class technology and weapons.
