What 4e Vehicles .pdfs do people want to see?

Mgellis · 11-21-2009, 02:20 AM

It appears that the plan for 4e vehicle books is to publish them as .pdfs, each one featuring a related group of vehicles like "World War II fighters" or "Motorcycles."

Okay, here's my question...

What 4e Vehicles .pdfs do people want to see written and published as e23 e-books? What is the wish list of the Hive Mind? :)

I have a thing for light armoured vehicles such as the Ferret and Fox armoured cars, the Cadillac Gauge V-series vehicles, and so forth. I could (and probably will) come up with stats of my own for them, but I have had so much going on lately that the project keeps slipping my mind.

What I am most interested in, though, are some solid guidelines for converting real-world stats into GURPS 4e terms. Converting real-world armour into GURPS DR has always been a bit of a problem with me, as has calculating HT and HP from real-world statistics. If I had workable official (or even semi-official) guidelines compiled into one readily-accessible location, however...

I got to drive a friends LAV-25 once, so I've always liked seeing the stats for those.

Old vehicles. Carts, wagons, carriages, chariots, litters, rowing and sailing ships across cultures and periods. Basically "Vehicles TL 4 and below."

I'd also like to see a sort of "Steam Vehicles" type of thing. Steam ships, riverboats, locomotives, etc.

Cheers.

It would be a dream if they could produce a series of the complexity of Spaceships.
Sailing Vessels
Aircraft
AFVs
doodling:)

Age of Sail boats and ships
Victorian vehicles
Cold War non-military vehicles

What I'd like out of those is predominantly common, everyday vehicles (TL4 rowboat, Hansom cab, police cruiser), which will see most frequent use, with a handful of serious combat or weird-tech vehicles (man-o-war, steampunkish land leviathan, tricked out James Bond car) for climactic use in adventures.

Steampunk Vehicles
Science Fiction Vehicles

I would really like GURPS stats for those myriads of Warhammer 40K Vehicles, but that´s a little bit too focused, isn´t it ? :-(

How about a book for each TL, with the most common vehicles of the day?

I'd most like to see TL 3 and TL 4.

- Modern Civilian Vehicles (TL8): Different Cars, Motorcycles, Transporter, Trucks etc.
- Ultra-Modern Civilian Vehicles (TL9): Different Cars, Hovercrafts, Motorcycles, Transporter, Trucks etc.
- Modern Military Vehicles (TL8): Tanks, Armored Transport, Amphibian Transport, Jets, Transport-Planes, Ships, Submarine etc.

PDFs are okay, but only if a big hardback is produced first. I'd really like that.
