Re: GURB- The Generic Unoriginal Roleplaying Blog
I like these. The Belt armor option is a really good idea and the Structural one is as well. I would suggest adding verbiage on how that section can count as Sealed even if the rest of the ship is breached.

My main problem, however, is that I tend to give my ships a lot more armament, that I run out of hull sections. :( An chance you can write these (and several of your other blog posts) up and submit them as a single Pyramid article? I've love to see them made official.

Good suggestion man, I'll add that in. Quote:
As for a Pyramid article, I got few ideas in the works but time right now is a limiting factor (we have a worker shortage at my job and I"m being use to plug all the holes. In fact I just got called to go in early heh). As for making them based on my blog posts I'm going to have to look into if I can do that.

Rory's band armor looks spiffy, though. It makes the system slightly less ham-fisted, in my opinion, which is usually my biggest complaint. Survivability is easily tweaked through a combination of IT:DR as suggested in Spaceships 3, more armor, Hardened armor, and weapon choice. The biggest headache I ever encounter is choosing the rules and campaign switches needed to emulate specific genres, but that requires a more holistic approach than just adding HP or thicker armor, usually. Eric's and your/Rory's systems do help a bit, though! Thanks!

Rory also did a belt armor system? I know he posted he liked mine but I didn't know he did one himself. As for giving ships IT:DR, I'm a bit unsure about use it as I find it hard to come up with justification for it. I generally use extended Injure to Unliving, Homogenous, and Diffuse Objects table from Pyramid 3/34 Alternate GURPS (which I believe David has said somewhere on the forum will be used in the VDS manuscript). But anywho, thanks for the input. Glad you like the options. Hope you like today's post as well as it really goes into the Spaceship system.

I have commented on various threads and made some suggestions but I don't recall anything I did on belt armor before this thread. And my Sealed suggestion was barely anything not worth a credit. I have suggested a version of IT:DR to increase survivability and a few other IT variations for ships bought with points.

Re: GURB- The Generic Unoriginal Roleplaying Blog
I'm now curious whether a SM 0 Death Star could fit in a normal party and be effective, piloted by space hamsters

That said, I really don't want to think about a hamster ball with a spinal-mounted total conversion beam weapon.... o/` :) All in all, I like it, Ryujin. I feel like the formatting needs to be cleaned up a little, though, particularly the area where you're dealing with the intermediate sizes. (And yes, that's an area where I've been calling for some support for a while.) I've give it a whirl to come up with a 50- or 75-ton attack fighter or fighter-bomber at some point this weekend.
