Classic Tricorder from Kathy McCracken (06/26/2000)

See picture of Classic Tricorder.

 

From the 23rd century, we find equipment that is at once both more and less versatile than the 24th-century models. While the 24th-century Tricorder adds only SCIENCE skill to ENGINEER-classification personnel, the "classic" version works with both ENGINEER and SCIENCE classifications, and you can choose ENGINEER, SCIENCE, Geology, or Physics for your added skill, re-selecting once each turn as a game action.

So what's the "less versatile" part? As with the Tricorder, all the affected personnel gain the same skill; you can't give one Geology, another Physics, and so on. And most important, only your [OS] icon personnel can benefit from it. The modern crew will have to continue to depend on their larger selection of personnel for needed skills.
