with lens books
biotech, magic tech, super science, steam-punk

But spaceships makes a great framework.
I've done a lot of this already in Spaceships 8 (Divergent and Paranormal Tech) which lets you build all kinds of time periods like sky galleons or even biotech space amoebas and then in Pyramid #3-34 (Alternate Spaceships) where i add things like gasoline engines, tracks, wheels, flexibody, screw propellers, ground, water and submarine movement, and so on, and statted out an Aegis-type naval destroyer.

I agree that the Spaceships "simple modular" approach is a LOT easier to use than Vehicles. I've thought of proposing a dedicated book supporting it, but it will have to wait until after Vehicle Design is finished.
