Better Piloting Through Chemistry

==Booster Use== Boosters work like temporary implants. A booster is consumed and will appear on the AUGMENTATION tab of your character sheet

Boosters improve 1 ship or weapon statistic, while randomly rolling up to 4 [[#Penalties|penalties]]. Though boosters can inflict [[#Penalties|penalties]], they are designed to be used in applications where the [[#Penalties|penalties]] are on stats that aren't critical to the ship's role. See [[#Ship Suggestions|Ship Suggestions]] for sanctioned ship/booster pairings.

'''Biology''': Extends Booster Duration. Publicly available.
'''Neurotoxin Control''': Reduces penalty effect. When a penalty stat is incurred, ''Neurotoxin Control'' will reduce the actual penalty up to 25%. Found through exploration. Prerequisites: Science IV, Biology I.
'''Neurotoxin Recovery''': Reduces probability of incurring a penalty. [[#Penalties|Penalties]] are rolled independently. Found through exploration. Prerequisite: Neurotoxin Control I.

===Booster Grades=== Boosters come in 4 grades. The stronger the booster, the higher the boost, the more likely a [[#Penalty|penalty]] will be incurred, and the harsher the penalty effect will be. Synth boosters are special in that they have none of the [[#Penalty|penalties]] or [[#Contraband|contraband]] drawbacks.

===Penalties=== Whenever a booster is consumed, any of a group of 4 penalties can be incurred. These penalties are independently rolled and are effected by the skills '''Neurotoxin Control''' and '''Neurotoxin Recovery'''.

It's important to understand that each penalty is rolled independently. This means you can incur no penalty for using a booster, or up to all 4. Also, penalties should be considered with application. Most booster penalties can be negated through choice of ship. A shield HP penalty doesn't matter much to an armor tanked ship. A max speed penalty isn't a big issue for an alpha ship.
