Shield Master[edit]
Anyone can bring the vessel’s shield up or down as an action, at the Engineering Station.
As an engineer, you can do so as a reaction or a bonus action.
Protection Mode[edit]
While at the Engineering Station, as an action and using your concentration, you can put the ship in protection mode.
Whenever it takes damage while in this mode, reduce the damage taken by your proficiency bonus × 10.
This effect lasts for 1 min, or you can end it manually without using any action. It also ends if you lose concentration or leave the Engineering Station.
Mending[edit]
As an engineer, when you take a long rest inside your vessel, it regains all his missing hit points.
In addition, when you take a short rest inside your vessel, you are the one that roll its hit dice.
Stance[edit]
While at the Engineering Station, you can boost one of the vessel's system, as an action, entering it into one of the following stances. The boost disappears after 1 day and you can use this ability once per long rest.
Shield Stance: The shield's hit points are doubled.
Damage Stance: The phasers deal +1d12 damage × 10.
Speed Stance: Double the vessel’s movement speed.
Genius[edit]
While at the Engineering Station, you can do an Investigation check, as an action, to attempt to find the weakest spot of an enemy's vessel. If you succeed, the next attack that hits the target deal maximum damage.

This can be used a number of time equal to your proficiency bonus each time you complete a short rest.
