====== SALVAGE SPACE: SCREENS ======

More commonly seen on the Core Worlds than out in the fringes, electromagnetic screening technology expanded the traditional concepts of layered shield and armor defense.

**Electrical**: deflect and discharge electrical strikes

**Flare**: improve survivability of solar flare exposure

**Magneto-Kinetic**: reduce or deflect incoming kinetic strike from micrometeroids or weapons of war

**Lase**: defect, absorb, or discharge incoming laser strikes

**Psionic**: deflect or disrupt psionic probes

**Sonic**: deflect and disrupt incoming sonic attacks 

===== Screen Attributes =====

All Screen have at least an [[Endurance]] Attribute, and Endurance [[Reserves]].

===== Absorbing Strikes and Effects =====

If a successful type of strike matches the type of protection offered by a defender's screen, the strike may be deflected, absorbed, or negated.

Any remaining effect or damage from a partially screened strike applies to the defender's [[shields|shield]] (if any) then [[armor]] (if any).

===== Accumulating Damage =====

[[Damage]] may accumulate against the screen's [[Endurance]] [[Reserves]] and [[Endurance]] in the same manner as for an Adventurer.

===== Damage Resistance =====

If the Screen possesses a **Damage Resistance** [[Special Effects]] (SFX) ability, then the damage resistance is subtracted from the total damage taken in a strike before being applied to the screen's [[Endurance]] [[Reserves]].

===== Screen Crafting =====

An artisan with the ** Ingenuity/Engineering (Screen) ** skill can craft a custom-order screen.

===== Screen Upgrades =====

An artisan with the ** Ingenuity/Engineering (Screen) ** skill can customize, upgrade, or improve screens.

===== Screen Repair =====

Successful ** Ingenuity/Engineering] (Screen) ** skill can restore screen [[Endurance]] [[Reserves]] replacing burnt out components and recharging.

===== Screen Salvage =====

Adventurers may sometimes salvage functional projector, control, and energy modules from damaged screens.
