Rules for Figuring Out Technology in Labyrinth Lord

The Players are gonna want to use the new technology they find aboard the ship, that's half the fun of this module. The issue is finding good rules that allow the PCs to do that quickly and easily. Gary's charts in EBP are fun, but get exponentially more complex and can get tedious. The rules in Mutant Future take too long game wise.

Here I threw-up some INT based charts that chart what happens if the character wants to figure something out. Simply determine if the item is Simple, Medium, Complex/Weapon roll d20 and apply modifiers. Each step takes 1 round. 

Neutral means that the player has not damaged or interfered with the item in any way, but they must re-roll at +1 (does not stack). 

Blown Charge. If an item's charge is not listed, it has d8 for Simple Items. d6 for Medium and Complex. If it runs out of charges, it is Powered Down.

Power drain means item has powered down. Can't be used until a new power source if found (battery or glowstone).

Explosion: Does 2d10 damage to everyone within 10'. Save vs Breath for Half.
