Hello Kelly St. Clair,
My luck at rolling dice seem to fail on the easiest tasks resulting in, usually, the character going out in a spectacular fashion. My success on the harder tasks are a lot better, most of the time the character survives.

Perhaps, but IMO that's a card that should be played sparingly - I mean,
that's what the system is FOR. If it's not reliable, then you get the
players rolling their eyes ("oh look, the transporter/holodeck/ whatever
is broken again because lazy writing I mean REASONS") and the characters
wondering why they spent the credits and volume on something that never
works.
