So the maximum number of strong dice is determined by the amount the ship 'soaks'? And all spares are standard dice?

Ok, I rewrote the Skill Soak section!

That's very helpful. I actually thought that having 200% skill would be the maximum benefit. Thanks for clearing things up fallen |

If you have 32 Skill Pool and Ship requires 15 (that is, 32/15) you are not getting 32 dice, only 15 Strong and 15 Weak. But you'd be better off installing some components to get up to 32/20 so you get 20 Strong and 12 Weak. |

You said that if I have optimal staffing, without being overstaffed, it would give the most strong dice. |

Brutus Aurelius - does seem like maybe confusion -- updated the Over staffed section again to try to clarify. Yes, 30/15 gets 15 Strong Dice + 15 Weak Dice, but you'd be better off installing a Pilot Assist module and having 30/19, therefore getting 19 Strong Dice and 11 Weak Dice. If you can't then 30/15 is as good as it gets.

[captain obvious:] In the scenario Fallen describes, installing the Pilot Assist module does NOT change the total number of dice, but changes weak dice to strong dice. Strong dice > weak dice.

Please excuse the noob, but what are strong and weak dice? Great question - added a section to the OP on it. |

Please excuse the noob, but what are strong and weak dice? Each action requiring a dice roll has a target number needed to generate a success with each dice rolled. Believe the dice used are D10 and the difference between strong and weak dice is that strong dice generate a success on a roll of 6+ while the weak dice only generate successes on rolls of 8+. |
