We have a light freighter in our Star Wars campaign. And – I guess it's just too good a staple to pass it – the hyperspace drive is crap.

Hmm.
> Great computer, lousy drive. Once per scene, you can advance the result of your Hyperjump roll by one step (fail to tie, tie to success, success to success with style). However, you can also be compelled to have the hyperdrive break or malfunction.

You mean “for the cost of being compelled to have the hyperdrive break”?

No, it's not an "at the same time" thing.
It's basically tacking an extra trouble aspect onto the ship.

That's what it looks like.

> Precision jumping. You can calculate jumps that nobody else would dare try. Whenever you come out of hyperspace, gain a boost reflecting how accurately you've done so (like Surprised the fleet or Under their radar).

@BESW Something like this might be what we want, but this does not work for a “do we get away or not” conflict.
BESW

Yeah, the stunt depends on the story you want it to fuel.
Maybe a full-on extra requiring a challenge or contest to power up the hyperdrive.

@BESW For the moment, I think it might be hairy last-minute escapes leaving us stranded. So That One looks good, but maybe we can just use it as a straight aspect.
BESW

Hmm.

I was also thinking of something that removes action cost from Create Advantage in those situations.
