Communications Operations

The Communications station, normally located inside the bridge, is a series of controls where the ship’s communications officer may use the Long-Range or Short-Range scanners to send and receive video or audio messages. One person can usually handle it, but on a larger ship, especially one with a fleet of smaller ships under it, this may be a huge group of people. The size a communications relay will take up inside the bridge is equal to the number of people who can be stationed at it. 
Quality: A Poor Communications relay can only send messages as far as the scanners being used can reach. A Fair one can double that amount. A Good one would Quadruple that amount, and an Excellent one would multiply that amount by ten. 
Cost: Cost is per person who can be stationed at the relay. Poor is 5000 per person. Fair is 10,000 per person. Good is 15,000 per person. Excellent is 20,000 per person.
