Until then, his priority is paying his bills, which means honoring the aforementioned contracts.
Very good.

At least the 4e Vehicle writeups were simple, unlike the 3e Vehicles. Which I'm sure was a great book, but I never got into it.

That would be lovely.

I was under the impression that this was only for modern, futuristic or fantasy vehicles; not real-world historical ones. The examples are all from the era of TL5-TL12, except possibly Fantasy War Wagons (which is pretty clearly not meant to draw on any real world data).

Are you saying that you'd consider Vehicles: Age of Sail Pirate Ships and Vehicles: Napoleonic War Naval Ships?
