Cortez can improve that by a flat +10% to 34/100, and Sarah pitching in makes it 44/100. With Boromir, Deliah, and Arkhah attempting to haggle, we can almost certainly get the facilities and install them on one platform.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>If you wait till Jason "joins" the group, (which is pretty much now, if you think about it... he's been "pulling" for team Cortez since the Everest's refit began, although it isn't till now that it would be a factor), you'd have a 50/100 base test to pick up the Expanded Repair Facilities... (and yeah, that's the best thing you could get with the first buy, especially as it makes everything else easier...)  Adding haggle to that, you'll be well over 50%<br/><br/>Oh yeah... I did forget that Jason will actually get to start at a profit factor of 40 as well... he WOULD get some more stuff, huh?<br/><br/>Well... the 40 would mean that he can get eight different items of -5 difficulty or more. He's already committed to five ship's guns, a superior bridge crew (his "bridge bunnies", which give a +10 to one NPC ship action a turn) and a Sister Hospitaler personal aid/bodyguard.  That's 7.  We'll add a Best Quality Storm Trooper Carapace to that list, and call it good for now.<br/><br/>As for making acquisition rolls... Jason MIGHT actually decide to pick up some "Turbo Weapon Batteries" for the laser batteries to get rid of the long range penalties for firing... and perhaps a fighter squadron, which could be used by Ares, stationed at an orbital platform, on the planet itself, or even on board one of our ships... (both the Kobias and the Everest can hold a fighter squadron if we sacrifice some trade benefits...)
