Default Re: GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet

I've had a few ideas of options you could add to the spreadsheet if you like.

Make it so that lasers in weapons batteries smaller than major can have the phased array option. Also allowing some weapons other than lasers to have the phased array option (disintegraters and conversion beams say) at their base TL so as to make them closer to the phasers from Star Trek.

Allow drop capsules to be modified for occupants of different SM's. In the Starship Troopers novel the powered armor suits massed about 1 ton so would have been SM+2.

I don't know if this is possible but how about having it so that a missile launcher can carry a smaller number of larger missiles than normal. Say if a launcher normally carried 10 of a certain size missile you could opt to carry 3 of the next size up and only 1 missile of 2 sizes larger. Or base the decreased number on the missiles mass. This would allow for having "torpedo bomber" type space fighters that just carry a single large missile.
