Sea vehicle tech (Cyberpunk RED)
Definition
Sea Vehicle Tech is the specialized skill of working on watercraft—speedboats, cargo vessels, personal watercraft, and other maritime vehicles. It covers the unique mechanical challenges of marine engines, hull maintenance, and the corrosive saltwater environment that destroys unprotected machinery. Sea Vehicle Tech uses your TECH stat and handles all mechanical work specific to watercraft. Marine vehicles face unique challenges that land vehicle mechanics don't encounter—saltwater corrosion, hull integrity, marine engine systems, and the constant battle against the ocean trying to destroy everything. Night City's harbor district, offshore platforms, and coastal operations all depend on functional watercraft, and someone has to keep them running. For crews that operate along the coast or run maritime jobs, a sea vehicle technician ensures their boats don't sink at the worst possible moment.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sea Vehicle Tech worth investing in?
It depends entirely on your campaign. If your GM runs coastal or harbor operations, it's valuable. For purely urban campaigns, you can skip it entirely.
