I've been wanting to do this for a while. Porting over some ideas from MegaTraveller's Starship Operator's Manual and Imperial Encyclopedia. I worked on it a little the other day, but embellished it more. Let me know if you see anything wrong.
Maneuver Drive Overdrive
According to MegaTraveller's Starship Operating Manual, the M-drive can be pushed into Overdrive, or push the limits of the drive to 400% of normal thrust for short periods of time.
100% Thrust
Routine (6+) Engineering (M-drive) check
1D x 10 Seconds
Requires a check every 5000 minutes or about 3.5 days
For a good Engineer, this might be automatic and not require a roll.
200% Thrust
Average (8+) Engineering (M-drive) check
1D x 10 Seconds
Requires a check every 500 minutes or about 8 hours
For a good Engineer, with Computer Assist, this could be automatic and not require a roll.
300% Thrust
Difficult (10+) Engineering (M-drive) check
1D x 10 Seconds
Requires a check every 50 minutes or about 1 hour
400% Thrust
Very Difficult (12+) Engineering (M-drive) check
1D x 10 Seconds
Requires a check every 5 minutes

System Crosschecks
System Crosschecks should be performed on the following Skill checks (or Tasks):
Cold or Warm start a Starship
Prepare Maneuver Drive
Prepare Jump Drive for Jump
To do a System Crosscheck, increase the Timeframe by 1 and increase the Task Difficulty by 1 (or the target number by +2).
Failure to do the System Crosscheck on a required Task results in:
A Warning Light and a Bane to every check made on that specific System until a System Crosscheck is completed successfully on that System.
Or
The Referee should determine a serious Event to happen later on that System.
