If you divert power from another system, thus lowering it's "Damage Track," do you suffer the Critical too?
Ex- Divert power from Reliability E Sensors to Shield Strength, which is down a bit. Sensors go to Reliability D, but is the ship now at "-1 to all maneuvers?"
OR
Am I way off? :(
I would think no, since it's not damage.
I disagree with qerlin. The rules for Reinforcing Shields (NG, p. 107) are fairly straightforward: damage is applied to the system from which power is being diverted.
Nothing prevents a competent ship's engineer from making an Emergency Repair (NG, pp. 122-3) to that system at any time afterward, however. A jury-rig only requires a full-round action.
(Something this Ship's Engineer has used to his advantage several times already. :D )
