Ah.
Unfortunately, I have several problems in that department.
a) I'm lazy enough to avoid work unless I get paid a decent wage. So far, I've never seen an RPG company that pays enough to appeal to anyone but a die-hard idealist (such as our dear Kromm, bless him). ;)
b) I'm not a specialist in ships of any nature. I can't sail and I can't row. I have read a book or two about the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and some on the nascent US Navy, but I'm basically clueless for other periods. In order to submit material up to GURPS standards (rather than the standards of the unfortunate table in Fantasy), I'd need a library of circa 20 new books and several weeks of research.
c) If I had the energy to sit down and write for real, I'd finish my thesis and get a degree. I've managed to put that off for almost a year now, always with the excuse that there is a lot to do at work or something else.
