Shields can be modified to resist more effects, shatter weapons that hit them and other powers. |
| Shields must be constructed from foam and be designed to be held in one hand. They can be covered in painted latex or fabric. Shields cannot be more than 48" in any dimension. | Shields must be constructed from foam and be designed to be held in one hand. They can be covered in painted latex or fabric.

| + | * Must have at least 10mm of dense foam around all edges (front, back and side). | ||
| + | * Must have at least 10mm dense foam covering any hard protrusions (bolt heads etc). | ||
| + | * No wing nuts. Protruding bolts must be cut down as much as possible. | ||
| + | * Should be constructed from a material that is able to resist significant impacts and weight on it without cracking - ideally polycarbonate. No acrylic or laminated glass or anything else liable to crack, splinter or shatter. | ||
| + | * Wooden formers (generally plywood) are liable to be quite heavy to achieve the required strength, and must be covered with at least 6mm dense foam padding on the front. | ||
| + | * If the shield has a significant curve to it (like a police riot shield), ideally the most directly forward-facing part of the curve should be padded also. | ||
| + | * Although physically impacting another player or barging with a shield are already not permitted in the rules, doing so with a hard-cored shield is liable to get the offender immediately removed from the event. | ||

| - | The role of potions and drugs in other systems will be filled by injectables and injectors. Injectors are devices that carry doses of pharmaceuticals for quick administration. They might look like an automatic syringe (such as those used in EpiPens), or some kind of gun device, or something in-between. Critically, injector physreps **__must not incorporate any actual sharp needles__** or any other method of actually puncturing the skin - they are for in-game roleplay purposes only. | + | The role of potions and drugs in other systems will be filled by injectables and injectors. Injectors are devices that carry doses of pharmaceuticals (called [[Medicaments]]) for quick administration.

Critically, injector physreps **__must not incorporate any actual sharp needles__** or any other method of actually puncturing the skin - they are for in-game roleplay purposes only. |
| - | Pharmaceuticals can be physrepped by bottles or ampoules of clear or coloured liquid.

| Charge packs are simple batteries that hold charges, ready to transfer into other devices. They allow characters to purchase more charges than their gear could normally hold, and use those charges in the field - although it takes time to transfer the charges over, so unlikely to be feasible in the middle of a firefight. Charge Packs can be styled in a manner appropriate to your faction, but in essence they are simple boxes that are big enough to hold Charge Cards in them - probably covered with some logos, copper charging coils or similar. | Charge packs are simple batteries that hold charges, ready to transfer into other devices.

| - | Science devices are the essential tools for every scientist on an away mission. These are the tricorders, scanners, etc that you see on many sci-fi series. In Orion Sphere, there are 3 basic Science Devices, which serve as a base for modification into more specific ones. | + | [[Scanners]] are the essential tools for every scientist on an away mission. These are the tricorders, sensors, etc that you see on many sci-fi series. In Orion Sphere, Scanners can be used in three ways. |
| - | * Analyser – Detects the basic properties of a scanned object, and which Speciality is required for further research. | + | * [[scanners#Examine]] – Analyses the properties of an object, and can give useful information in the field. |
| - | * Sensor - Detects the presence of unusual substances or energies in the immediate vicinity. | + | * [[scanners#Survey]] - Detects the presence and nature of unusual substances or energies in the immediate vicinity. |
| - | * Extractor – Extracts most raw substances into a portable form. Used to sample materials, and collect exotic substances. | + | * [[scanners#Sample]] – Extracts samples of a phenomena into a portable form. Used to collect samples for research, or harvest exotic substances. |
| - | Engineers can learn mods for the basic science devices that alter them completely into new devices, usually tuned to one of the 3 main Science Specialisations (Etheric, Corporeal and Life Science).[[https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/808325833091730268/|{{ https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d6/d7/20/d6d72073821186b22c6e4c2ef605907c.jpg?200}}]] These specialised devices are things like bio-scanners that detect life signs on a planetary mission, power converters that allow recharging of Artefacts, Smelters that extract reagents from samples taken in the field, etc. Each one will be tied to one of the 3 specialisations, and will require mastery in order to be used. | ||
| Physreps for science devices should ideally be styled in a manner appropriate to your faction, but in a pinch a phone with a tricorder app will fit the bill reasonably well. Maybe in a fancy phone case. | Physreps for science devices should ideally be styled in a manner appropriate to your faction, but in a pinch a phone with a tricorder app will fit the bill reasonably well.
