8.25 Specialized Science Systems
Cost: 5 SUs per +1 with a specific Science Skill, or 3 SUs per +1 with specific Science Skill Specialization
To reflect its advanced facilities for one particular Science discipline (such as Astrochemistry, Subspace Mechanics, Oceanography, Stellar Cartography, Molecular Biology, Human Geography, Industrial Engineering, or Endocrinology), a starship may buy improvements to its Science systems for that one skill. This simulates the specialized laboratory, equipment, and sensor capacity devoted to studying that topic.
A +5 bonus costs 5 SUs for all Tests within a particular Science branch (Physical, Life, Social or Applied Sciences), or 3 SUs for Tests with just one Specialization of one Science discipline (the specific disciplines within any given branch). A ship may not buy more than a +5 bonus for any particular branch or discipline (it could buy one bonus for a parent branch and one for a child discipline, but only one of the bonuses applies to any given Test). Nor may a ship have a number of specialized science systems greater than one-half its Size (for example, four for a Size 8 ship).
