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.
Yep it's my favorite book in the series. The problem is there is no rules for using ship-shaped vessels as sea-going ships. I've asked about this several times but have never received a answer. It's one of those things I think is super important and a hole in a otherwise awesome system. Thoughts Mr. Pulver?
