Vehicles and Equipment

    Board equipment tends to be like its users... quirky, bizarre, and prone to completely ignore the laws of physics when it suits them. While this is amusing, it makes practical matters such as maintenance and repair a nightmare, to say nothing of mission planning when Command is uncertain how various Boardies' equipment will react to each other.

While oldbies complain this leads to a loss of the individual quirks that made Board life what it is today, the overworked engineers point out that customisation modules, nanotech adaptation circuits, and jury-rigged "enhancements" are all the average Boardie ever seems to need to personalise his gear to a ridiculous degree anyway...
