quote:
* Vehicles that take damage in excess of their Body (which is only breached by attacks that penetrate Protection) can cause those within them to take damage as well. Especially in space. Whenever you want to manuever a vehicle in a strenuous way, you make a Control roll equal to the pilot's agility or the craft's Control, whichever is LOWER. Failure means craft goes "out of control," which is bad.
