the Scrap Yard

Any Ship may be scrapped at no cost, and at no benefit. It's gone.


Note: Optional Rule.

Instead of scrapping used parts you may take on some extra paperwork.

Whenever any Ship component is still working 100%, and is removed,
it can be put in Ordinary (mothballed) . It can be reused w/o having
to pay for a new one. When used, it's noted & removed from the Ordinary.
All mothballed parts pay the annual Ordinary 1% Maintenance Fee,
but there are no extra costs to 'recommission' them, except as below.

If used for a Critical Repair or a Refit, only the 50% (of new cost) fee for
labour is charged for PP, JDrive & MDrive ( Major part) reuse. With
all other (Minor Part ) changes , it costs only the 10% (of new cost) fee.
(TCS pp.34)

If any undamaged part (above) re-used in a new build of the same Ship
Class there is no fee.

If re-used in a new build of an 'identical Tonnage' Ship, but not of the
same Class, there is no fee for Minor Parts, and only a 10% (of new
cost ) fee for PP, JDrive & MDrive ( Major part) reuse.

If re-used in a new build of any other type Ship, there is the 10% fee
for Minor Parts, and but a 50% (of new cost ) fee for PP, JDrive &
MDrive ( Major part) reuse.

Example: Ten stored triple Laser turrets originally removed from a
Turkey class, 20,000T war Ship, are Reused in a 20KT freighter.
The cost is 0%.

Example: Stored Jump-1 Drive originally removed from a Turkey class,
20,000T war Ship, is Reused in a Turkey class, 20,000T war Ship.
The and the cost is 0% of the cost for a new J-1 Drive for the new Ship.

Example: Stored Jump-1 Drive originally removed from a Turkey class,
20,000T war Ship, is Reused in a 20KT freighter. The cost is 10%
of the cost for a new J-1 Drive for the new Ship.

Example: Stored Jump-2 Drive originally removed from a Butterball class,
50KT war Ship, is Reused in a 20KT freighter. The new Ship is now a
J-5 (Jump # x old Ship size / new Ship size) Ship and the cost is 50%
of the cost for a new J-5 Drive for the new Ship,
UNLESS J-5 IS ABOVE YOUR CURRENT TL,
then you have a working, but over-sized, J-Drive of your best range at
your TL. (If J-3 is your best, it's a J-3, & the cost is based on J-3)
