Rules for Acquisitions 1) Make a Commerce Test to locate the good you wish to purchase based on Table 1-1 with the appropriate modifiers. For every Degree of Success, increase your Profit Factor by 2 for the Acquisition Roll only. For every Degree of Failure, decrease your Profit Factor by 2 for the Acquisition Roll only. 2) Determine the Acquisition Modifiers based on the availability of the good (Table 2-1), the number you want (Table 2-4) and the Craftsmanship (Table 2-3). 3) Apply Time Modifiers. Using Table 1-2, look up the “time” to acquire the good based on the system that you are currently in. a) Increasing Time (Difference * 0.5)– In a System of 5 million you are searching for a Xenotech Ship Component. This has a base rarity of Extremely Rare, so it will normally take One week. By “Upping” the time to 1d5 weeks, that puts it in Near Unique, which has a difference of 20 between the steps in Table 1-2. The Explorer would get to roll their Acqusition test with half of the difference as a bonus, in which case they gain a +10. b) Decreasing Time (Difference * -1.5) – In a small Agri-World (<100,000) you seek a replacement for a Regiment’s strength of krak grenades. The base rarity is Rare, which is not modified by the scale (Table 2-4). You want them now rather than in One Week, so you decrease the time taken to the next level (in this case Average as Scarce also is One Week) and that has a difference of 20. Increasing that by 50%, by taking a -30 penalty to their Acquisition roll, they can try to get it faster. 4) Once all modifiers have been worked out, roll against your Profit Factor. If you fail, you may increase your roll by +10 per 1 point of Profit Factor burned. a) You may spend one Fate Point for a re-roll and one Fate Point for a +10. You may only do this ONCE per Game Session however b) You may also burn Profit Factor (Permanently) for a +10 to your roll. You may do this as many times as you wish per acquisition, per encounter.
