Hold It Together

You can hold one system together by constantly patching and modifying it. If you succeed at an Engineering check (DC = 15 + 1½ × your starship’s tier), you can select one system; that system is treated as if its critical damage condition were two steps less severe for the rest of the round (wrecked becomes glitching, and a malfunctioning or glitching system functions as if it had taken no critical damage). This check isn’t modified by penalties from critical damage to the power core.
