Hey Hemisent, any chance you can do me/us a favour?
Could you possibly put together a list of the potential malfunctions (the actual settings are not important) and the usual symptoms of same?
Players can then use it as an "equipment troubleshooting" reference.
Maybe a list similar in style to the troubleshooting pages you get in the back of electronic equipment manuals may be more helpful? Then players could look for their "problem" and find the possible causes.
Just a thought.
PS, do you have any plans to add in Type II malfunctions?
