Re: GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet
 
More for the wishlist: please add "Essential Fuel" option (SS7 p.20) to fuel tanks. This would affect fuel cost (see below) and engine performance (×10 thrust or power). Requires TL^.
Code:
Tech Level  TL0^    TL1^    TL2^    TL3^    TL4^    TL5^    TL6^    TL7^    TL8^    TL9^  TL10^  TL11^  TL12^
+Cost/ton  $1,780  $1,840  $1,920  $2,000  $2,200  $3,200  $4,600  $6,000  $7,400 $10,200 $16,000 $22,000 $30,000

Where does it say anything about x10 thrust or power? All I see is x10 delta-V.

Oops! Sorry, I misread it. According the GURPS Magic p.179;
Quote:
Essential Fuel burns 10 times as long as regular fuel, with one-third the usual pollution (smoke, radiation, etc.).

How difficult would it be to simply rename systems for a specific campaign setting? I am seriously pondering using GURPS to run a Star* Drive game n the next few years (yea, I have time!). The ability to make very large ships is critical (fortress ships are 4 km long, for example). I see that adding custom systems has already been requests, but I don't know if that will even be necessary for me. Thanks!

One more for the wishlist: a switch that would make manning certain habitats optional (that is no warning message). Why? Sometimes ships are deliberately understaffed, with certain crew using multiple facilities part time. (Example: a science officer might have a control room station, an office, a lab and periodically oversees a rec room establishment with the ship's doctor, who has her own sickbay, lab and office.) In addition, in commercial vessels (and buildings) some facilities are intended to be rented out to passengers on a temporary basis.

Some things can be renamed fairly easily, however for many items the name (or parts of the name) is used in formulas, so renaming them can seriously break things.

For best results I'd just get the design you want then take one of the outputs from the Output sheet then rename them from there.

Along with Essential Fuel, this was something I added weeks ago. I really need to push the last update forward.

It's been apparent for a while that working on this spreadsheet has activated some latent psychic powers.

I don't normally follow this thread, but I searched and didn't find this mentioned.

It seems that the "No Life Support" option doesn't increase the number of passenger seats by x2, and NBC filters only doesn't seem to have made any difference either.

Secondly, changing between off-road and regular wheeled drivetrains didn't change the top speed at all. Top speed should drop by 10 mph for of-road.

I've been working on the sheet off and on for a little while now. I think I have Vorkosigan support set, but am still vetting it. Vorkosigan had some odd hitches which have taken some time, which slowed down progress everywhere.

I should have both of these issues fixed for my next update (whenever that will be - hopefully in the next few weeks).
