\subsection{Advanced Force Maintenance}

\subsubsection{Full DropShip Customization}

Add the following new optional rule.

11+
\begin{description}
12+
13+
\item {\bfseries Full DropShip Customization}: Commanders may create a fully customized DropShip from a civilian model.
14+
Commanders are encouraged to name their DropShip before using this rule.
15+
Commanders should keep track of their DropShip customizations, as shown on the \ifthenelse{\equal{\outworldsMode}{mode-web}}{sample \hyperref[sec:sample_full_dropship]{Full DropShip tracking}}{\emph{Sample Full DropShip Customization Tracking}}.
16+
17+
Commanders start with a civilian DropShip and note the maximum cargo bay tonnage.
18+
For example, the Danais, a commonly modified civilian DropShip, has a maximum cargo bay tonnage of 1,693 tons.
19+
Commanders may purchase bays to replace the cargo bay tonnage, as long as the maximum cargo bay tonnage is not exceeded.
20+
21+
The table below details bay tonnage and C-bill costs.
22+
The C-bill costs include the basic cost of the bay as well as the labor required for the modifications.
