  IMC the common figther engine has become the Rudder of Propulsion. It could
only be a matter of time before mages did the reserch needed to create them.
This gives most fighters a SR 6, not that many ships are going to have a 12th
level spell caster at the helm. In LotV pg. 49 is a random Helmsman table. I
chamged the precentile to a 2d20 this gives a bell curve with the lower level
Helmsmen at the top of the curve. I have also been planing on useing the
Positive-Negitive Plane Drive as a fighter engine with simular poformence as
the rudder.
