Default Re: GURPS Spaceships Design Spreadsheet

My biggest complaint about this spread sheet is that it doesn't have the most useful format for presentation. The worksheet page is excellent and works well for on-screen presentation, but for a printout it doesn't fare as well. (Tons of "extra stuff" on the sides that doesn't fit well.)

If I were to overhaul it I'd probably remove the second spaceship form at the bottom and put the extra settings there and have an additional book that was a printer-friendly version that repeated the data from the worksheet.

That said I've batted the idea of an actual program to do this for a while, but it's kind of fizzled. I'd like to do it in a cross-platform language, but Java doesn't support some of what I want to use and I don't know Python that would probably be my #1 choice. (Plus Python isn't the most cross-platform of languages when it comes to building a GUI.)
