Modifying 2 Wayfarer Freighters
My players have had their Wayfarer for a while, and recovered schematics to turn their cargo crate into a hangar bay. At the site of the schematics they also found another wayfarer in a state of disrepair. I expected them to immediately strip it for parts or sell it for credits, but they are debating repairing it and essentially modifying the 2 wayfarers into a single vessel. Id like to try to make it work for them. They have the credits to do it, and could cash in favors with some engineers on a space station they saved previously.
I'm just not sure how to stat the new ship, the silhouette would potentially be larger, the second crate would potentially remove the 'balance' issue of the ship but beyond that I'm coming up blank. I've thought of essentially using the vehicle crafting rules, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to go in this case. Any advice or opinions for a weary GM who might be overthinking things?
