Re: GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet
Every time I have tried printing the HTML to a PDF it just gives me the 1st page. That's when I figure out how to even paste the HTML in the browser.

Re: GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet
Print the main Design Table in the Spreadsheet. The Print area on the Design Table page is set to remove all the extra check boxes and provides a clean printout. You can also print the Save Sheets to print the stat tables for a collection of ships.

Well color me Zhodani! Amazing, did I miss mention of that in all the "stereo instructions" I skipped reading? 8 )

Re: GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet
Is there a way to label the different habitat modules? e.g. Captains cabin, 1st class dining room, Marine gym, etc.?

Re: GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet
I started a mapping project about a space station patterned after the one seen in "2001: A Space Odyssey". It's a classic space wheel design with a hub, four spokes and a habitat ring. I have the dimensions and can work out the total volume easily enough but I have no idea how to translate this into a GURPS Spaceships design. To give you an idea about the size, the total deck area of the habitat ring is about 155 acres (13 decks that average about a mile long) and would take 156 pages to map. How do I convert this into an SM and systems?

Re: GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet
Well, if they were made up of Open Spaces, and were most of (15+ systems) the station, that would make the station SM+15. That's probably not the best way of looking at it though.
How many people can it support and at what level of comfort and with what amenities would be better, but requires much more detail. Taking the physical size and working out the SM from that is another, though habitats tend to be fairly low density so that'll give a useful number for working out how hard the station is to see and shoot, it won't be so useful for working out how massy the other systems need to be.

Re: GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet
Calculate the SM as a cylinder with length of your wheel's circumference, then curve it round and join the ends together. Would that do what you need?
Or, slightly more sophisticated, treat the hub, spokes and wheel as separate spaceships of relative sizes, then add them together. If you need to know propulsion or something, use an oversize system.

Honestly, I'd probably start out with SM+15 and start working backwards. Fill in the systems and Habitats you intend the station you have, and if you run out of room up it to SM+16 and keep filling in the Habitats.
