Daily might be too often, and the shuttle movement has to be weekly because of the fragment wording. If everything else (damage etc) is daily, then a lot of things can happen between movements, which might be hard to keep track of.
Another thing that got weird because of the fragments was the captain's log thing: right now I don't know if it's balanced. People might not dare to try because they will almost certainly be mutineered against, but then again if we can make it just hard enough for the ship to survive the crew might decide to spare the fool's life because they will need all hands on deck once the systems are back up again. Maybe also give everyone more points(=capacitors/leadership tokens) if the shuttle survives with a captain's log in place. -- -Tiger
