F.2 Ship Resources and Strain

Ships do not have normal resources like characters do, such as fatigue and insight points. However, ships do have a strain level. This functions similarly to a character’s fatigue level. Some crew roles have special abilities that can increase a ship’s strain level in exchange for beneficial effects (see ??).

A ship’s strain tolerance is equal to its Strength + its Willpower. Ships take a penalty to their accuracy and defenses equal to their strain level - their strain tolerance.
