To modify your flagship, do a construction action and spend BP to change the existing design. The hull size, armor, and hull equipment can't be modified. You can redistribute items (i.e. it would be valid to halve the size of the repair bay for 5 more modular slots, remove a light lance for 1 more modular slot, or turn 1 modular slot into a new Light Teleportarium, or High Maneuverability Thrusters into 3 medium lances. Etc.
Refits can be paid for with the repair bay's automatic BP.
To edit weapons and combat equipment, refer to the ship design section page. To edit installations refer to the following list of valid installations:
The "Budget" you have for the ship is given at the top, and is consumed by:
-Repair Bays: 1000 BP
-Combat Equipment: 4600 BP
-Weapons: 4900x0.9= 4410 BP
-Modules: 1940 BP = 19 modular slots.
Refits can be paid for with the repair bay's automatic BP.
To edit weapons and combat equipment, refer to the ship design section page. To edit installations refer to the following list of valid installations:
In general, these are based on the ground installations page, though with added # of slots. However, I probably won't update this list as the quest continues, so refer to the linked page for improvements/new additions and prompt me if rulings need to be made (such as for # of slots for a new installation).

Ok, I think I've got the dice:
1st: Monastery Diplomacy, 85+18 = 103. Critical success!
2nd: Miniaturized psychic shielding, 39+20=59. Success. (Anexa)
Man, Victan's had some good darned rolls. Hmm. I think you're going to get one candidate offered from each monastery in addition to access to their domes. You've got things they want, after all, and they have a good impression of you thus far,. I think the crit is going to be Victan dangling the psytech you have as a carrot and get them fighting to send their best candidate. There'll be a vote on next update to choose between the characters generated here:
Can I get some more dice rolled? I need 3 people to each roll 4d6. They represent, in order:
#1 - Psyker Gender. Male-to-Female.
#2 - Psyker personality. 1's are less stable, 6's are more personable.
#3 - Psyker Discipline. Biomancy, Divination, Pyromancy, Telekinesis, Telepathy & Jack-of-all-trades. (They'll start at level 0 regardless. This is where they go)
#4 - Psyker power. Iota-Epsilon. If you roll a 6, reroll for Epsilon-Delta. If you get a 6 again, reroll until you stop getting 6's. It's going to take about 5x 6's in a row to get an Alpha. You won't get an alpha-plus unless somebody hacks the dice roller.
The next update's going to take a bit, since I'm doing some holiday travel the next few days.

'ere we go! Bean time!
Edit: At least it's just the gender ratio.
Edit: apparently, I'm supposed to roll four dice, so there.

I thought the highly stable one was a diviner.

(10)As the individual is able to control abilities with effort, subjects of Iota level and higher are true psykers and upon discovery are immediately put under the care of the Inquisition[1] and the League of Blackships.[6a] Zeta

Grabbed this off a 40k wiki for a comparison of psyker ratings. (We have a Delta, a Zeta, and an Eta psyker.) Disclaimer: I don't know how accurate/modern this is, and it's not the full table.

I bet the risks from hanging out with psykers scales nonlinearly as you add more... Then again, the monasteries seem to handle it fine, so maybe not? :/

Well, out of all of these, #2 is the least likely to do something dumb while on our ship (poking our psy-shield, snorting chaos kool-aid, etc) so she's a good choice for the crew.
#1 Is also fine if I'm remembering my greek alphabet correctly, if we can grab both him and #2 then that's great, they could probably bounce well off eachother.
#3 Gives me "Would lick the suspicious chaos artifact without even being tempted" vibes, nope.

I agree that #2 would be a great personality fit and would likely become a great combat asset over time....
But I think the diviner is the most useful/unique specialty.

You're only going to get to pick one right now. You'll need to do another diplomatic action to get another one, and remember that your crew size is limited - and these people will undoubtedly be crew.
And yes. I need to think on their personalities. It might not be so cut and dried.
