Subject: Mobility hits on aircraft

If you get a mobility hit then make the pilot roll a quality die versus the altitude (low is bad, high is good) and the terrain (clear is good, cluttered is bad) and conduct a non-powered landing. If he beats it he and his cargo are cool. If he meets it he and his cargo are damaged. If he rolls too low, well... better dispatch some cables home to their families... Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!
