As the Improbability Drive reaches infinite improbability, it passes through every conceivable point in every conceivable universe almost simultaneously. In other words, you're never sure where you'll end up or even what species you'll be when you get there. It's therefore important to dress accordingly. The Infinite Improbability Drive was invented following research into finite improbability which was often used to break the ice at parties by making all the molecules in the hostess' undergarments leap one foot simultaneously to the left in accordance with the theory of indeterminacy. Many respectful physicists said they wouldn't go to stand for that sort of thing, partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sort of parties."-from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.Infinite Improbability Drives (PL 8)This particular type of Engine uses Improbability Physics to run. When you activate them and you are moving, you are actualy passing through EVERY POINT in the Universe. Just remember that, in order to do what they do, they do the unthinkable-like turn planets into a pie, or incoming nuclear warheads into sperm whales.So it is of notice that this FTL Drive (which is, quite simply, the most illegal drive out there, PERIOD), has the following inscription on a small tag on its side:"WARNING: Due to the unpredictable nature of this drive, using it on military ships is not recommended.-PS: Civilian ships probably shouldn't use it either.-PPS: Actually, using it period is a bad idea, equivalent to checking a full gas tank with your lighter."Minimum Ship Size: Gargantuan.Tactical Speed Bonus: +2,000 (+6 Squares)Purchase DC: 15 + one Half of the Starship´s base purchase DC.Restriction: ILLEGAL (+4, and probably getting shot by anybody who finds out you have it).(ADDITIONAL NOTE: Having an Improbability Drive onboard a ship is simply GM Fiat Land waiting to happen. Eevry time the Improbability Drive is activated, the GM must roll once in any Random table he has available-encounters, Gear, whatever. They'll appear on the ship, a character will transform (temporarily) into them, whatever).Now, all I need is to figure out what kind of bonus can you obtain from consulting the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy....</blockquote>
