As a move action, you can fortify an item you touch against attack. The item’s hardness increases by an amount equal to your mechanic level (to a maximum of double its normal hardness) for 1 round.

In a process that requires an hour of uninterrupted work, you can hide a non-consumable piece of technological gear inside a larger technological object (something of higher bulk). For instance, you can conceal a personal comm unit inside a pair of hoverskates or a detonator inside a basic medkit. The concealed item easily passes casual inspection, but someone using a scanner or performing a close inspection can discover it with a successful Perception check (DC = 10 + your total Engineering skill modifier – the concealed item’s bulk [minimum 1]). Both devices retain their normal functionality and require their own batteries, but if the concealed device requires a skill check to use, the user takes a –2 penalty to that skill check. You can’t conceal weapons or armor or conceal items in weapons or armor.
Starting at 5th level, you can conceal the functional parts of a technological item or a ranged weapon inside a technological object of the same size, as long as that object is at least 1 bulk. For instance, you can conceal an azimuth laser pistol inside a large-enough musical instrument or a pulsecaster pistol inside a beacon. Concealing a weapon in this way imposes a –2 penalty to attack rolls with that weapon and reduces its range by half. This requires an additional hour of work and an amount of UPBs equal to 10% of the concealed item.
In either case, do not combine the bulk of the two devices; only the higher bulk counts toward a character’s bulk limit.

Whenever you attempt to hack a system and fail the check, you immediately become aware of any countermeasures that were activated due to your failure. You can then select one of these countermeasures and attempt another Computers check (with the same DC as the original).

You can appear to be a defunct piece of junk.As a move action, or as a reaction whenever you take damage, you can attempt to appear defunct. You immediately fall prone and attempt an Engineering check against each opponent who’s aware of you (DC = 10 + the opponent’s Sense Motive bonus, or 15 + 1-1/2 × the opponent’s CR, whichever is greater). Anyone you succeed against believes you’re useless mechanical junk and acts accordingly. An opponent who closely inspects you as a standard action can attempt an Engineering, Perception, or Sense Motive check at the same DC to uncover your deception.

As a full action or as a move action by spending 1 Resolve Point, you can cause a powered weapon (either a ranged energy weapon or a melee weapon with the powered special property) in your possession to explode. You can use the weapon as if it were a grenade of the weapon’s item level or lower dealing the weapon’s normal damage type, except the weapon has a range increment of only 10 feet unless it is a thrown weapon. If someone tries to attack with the weapon, it explodes as a grenade would instead, centered on the user, and the user doesn’t receive a Reflex save to negate the grenade’s effect (if any). Once you’ve primed a weapon to explode in this way, it’s difficult to reverse the effect, requiring 8 hours of work and a successful Engineering check (DC = 15 + your Engineering bonus); failing the check by 5 or more detonates the weapon.

In place of UPBs, you can use an equivalent value of raw materials on worlds with medium or low technology to craft technological items, but when you do so, you can craft items only of that world’s technology level or lower. Alternatively, you can craft a technological item whose item level doesn’t exceed your number of Engineering ranks – 2, regardless of the world’s technology or resources (subject to GM discretion).

You know how to modify the functions of UPBs to radically alter how items work. With 10 minutes of work, you can modify a technological item so that it temporarily functions as any other lower-level technological item of the same or lower bulk (losing its original function while in this new form). The item must have an item level and bulk no greater than half your mechanic level. If the new item requires a battery that has more charges than the original device’s battery (or another source of power or fuel not present in the original item), you must also provide the appropriate battery or power source. Any charges or similar expenditure from the new item come from the original item (if possible) or the new power source you install (if one was required). The new item retains the original item’s bulk. Any damage dealt to the new item is retained when it returns to its original form. If the item is broken or destroyed in its modified form, it remains broken or destroyed when it returns to its original form and must be repaired or replaced normally.
This change lasts for 10 minutes per mechanic level or until you undo it with 10 minutes of work. You cannot modify or produce armor, augmentations, hybrid or magic items, items with limited uses or charges (such as batteries, drugs, or fuel), or weapons, although you can produce an item that uses charges from a battery or fuel if there is a separate battery or power source to power it.

As a full action while in contact with your drone, you can reconfigure it into a mechanical drone suit (or a backpack-like apparatus, for the Tiny hover drone) that you can wear. While in this form, the drone can’t take any actions or use any of its abilities, but you gain either the drone’s flight system mods if you have a hover drone, reactive camouflage (and an invisibility field if your drone has it) if you have a stealth drone, or reductive plating if you have a combat drone.

When you or your drone are dealt damage that’s subsequently reduced by your energy resistance, you can reflect some of that damage as a reaction. The source of the damage takes energy damage equal to the amount you or your drone resisted (Reflex half), dealing the same type of damage as was resisted.

During the engineering phase of starship combat, you can perform a special engineer crew action called vent engines. As your starship moves during the next helm phase, it fills a number of consecutive hexes it departs with hazardous energy; the number of hexes filled can’t exceed your Intelligence modifier. The energy dissipates at the beginning of the following turn’s helm phase. Any starship that enters one or more of these hexes before then takes damage equal to 1d4 × your starship’s tier, distributed evenly across all four quadrants. You can use this action once per combat, though you can use it additional times by spending 1 Resolve Point for each additional use.

When you successfully hack into a creature’s cybernetics using implant ghost, you can instead choose for your exocortex to broadcast garbage signals to the chosen implant, inflicting deleterious effects, depending on the system in which the implant is installed. If the implant is installed in an arm, hand, or brain, the target takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls. If the implant is installed in the ears or eyes, the target takes a –4 penalty to Perception checks. If the implant is installed in a foot or leg, the target takes a –2 penalty to Reflex saves, and if the implant is installed in any other system, the target takes a –2 penalty to Fortitude saves. A different penalty can be imparted at the GM’s discretion.

As a standard action, you can use your custom rig to modify a touched ranged small arm, longarm, or heavy weapon. You can increase its range increment by 20 feet (or double, whichever is less), but doing so reduces the weapon’s damage dice by 1 when wielded by anyone other than you (for example, a weapon that would normally deal 3d8 damage deals 2d8 damage instead; a weapon reduced to 0 dice does 1 damage) or reduce its save DC by 2 for weapons that don’t use damage dice. You can instead reduce the range increment of such a weapon with a range increment of at least 40 feet to one-quarter its normal range and either increase its damage by 1d6 of its usual type or increase its save DC by 1 (for weapons that do not use damage dice). The item must be unattended or held by a willing creature. This change lasts for 1 minute per mechanic level or until you reverse the effect with a move action.
Additionally, when filling the engineer role during starship combat, instead of taking any other action you can spend 1 Resolve Point to modify a single non-capital weapon. You either extend or shorten the weapon’s range by one step; doing so reduces its damage dice by 1 (such as 4d4 to 3d4, with weapons reduced to 0 dice doing 1 damage) or increases its damage by 1d6, respectively. You can’t reduce a weapon’s range below short or extend it beyond long. Any change lasts for 1 round per mechanic level or until you undo the recalibration as a push engineer action.
