Nope. Vehicle Design is a low-priority item simply because it's at the absolute upper limit for charts, equations, stats, and tables in GURPS books. The editorial resources needed to complete N pages of Vehicle Design would give us 1.5N to 2N pages of just about anything else. And while gamers who like to design vehicles are vocal, they're also a niche, which compounds with the last factor to mean that the earnings are more like $Q for Vehicle Design vs. $3Q to $4Q for just about anything else. In the current economic climate, that trumps every other consideration. So for now, this product waits until David Pulver is done with things like the Spaceships series. Sorry!
