This question was raised by a discussion between a few people: On the Maintenance, Repair and Salvage Check Modifiers Table, there is a modifier of -1 'per additional Team' (top of pg 171). Can this modifier be applied to only Maintenance rolls or should it be applicable to repair and salvage checks as well?
There's some confusion on the matter due to:
(1) There is a note that this is not applicable for maintenance on WarShips, JumpShips, Space Stations, DropShips and Large Naval Vessel Support Vehicles, but there is no specific note that you cannot have multiple teams coordinate for this modifier on repair and salvage jobs (and every other modifier on the table appears to apply to all three.)
(2) Though there is also the line "Two teams cannot work simultaneously on the same task, but they can divide the tasks between them to save time" (first paragraph, second column of page 168).
So...
(a) If this modifier was intended to only work for maintenance, perhaps the tickmark on the table should be expanded to mention something along the lines that it "only applies to Maintenance checks, with the exception of... etc"
(b) If the modifier was intended to work with maintenance, repair and salvage, the line on 168 may need updated for some clarity (i.e. I think the intent is that you can't have 2 teams [with 480 minutes each] complete a 960 minute job in one day by both working on it and the sentence was not intended to limit the ability for additional teams to combine efforts to reduce the difficulty of the task, per the modifier on the table.)
