Three of us. Unfortunately, I kind of ran out of steam on the Version 2.0 of the sheet that I started, and just haven't gotten back to it. I haven't given up on it yet, and at some point I'll get back into it and get it finished.

The fuel tank output for hydrocarbon fuel at TL8 shows as ammonia. I don't know if that qualifies as a bug to you or not.

It's a bug, but a pretty minor one since it only affects the label of the fuel tank and not anything actually dealing with the tank (such as calculated fuel run time for hydrocarbon engines).

Version 1.36a
-Incorporated Rev. Pee Kitty's rules for using GURPS Spaceships with GURPS Traveller

-Fixed label display bug with Mixed Peripheral Weapon Battery Mounts

In order to use the spreadsheet to design buildings (as per Pyramid 3-34), I'd like to see the following options added:

1. A switch for "Vertical Design" that would change the hull section labels from "Front", "Center" and "Rear" to "Upper", "Middle" and "Lower" respectively.
2. When the above switch is on, a new "Basement" option for the "Lower Hull" systems to add $1000/system ton to the cost.

Version 1.37b
-Added option for 'Orientation Design Options' (Vertical, Horizontal, Building, Building w/Basement)
-Moved the 'Campaign Options' checkboxes down and to the right (I was running out of room, had to put them somewhere)
-Corrected bug with Campaign Stardrive '(Reactionless)' option
-Added Structural Reinforcement system (each system doubles dHP)
-Corrected some SM issues with the Armor/Volume rules

Hi fellas,

Thanks again to Eric! He's the reason gurps spaceships is good.

But I wanted to ask. I never did figure out a way to add modules to the system. It seems every time I build a ship I end up needing at least one module not existing anywhere. How is this done exactly?

Cheers!

[ericbsmith]

In the current version of the sheet there isn't a way to add custom modules. I had played around with the idea, but it never came to fruition. Likely, if I ever get back to the v2.0 of the sheet I'll add the capability to create custom modules.

Hi,
I'm using ver' 1.37b and in the area for design switches, features & notes it only says err:511 no matter what design settings I use. I assume it's a bug.

I'm not seeing this at all, so aside from the possibility of this being a regional setting issue I can't even guess why this would be happening without a lot more specifics.

Unfortunately I'm going to be out of town for a couple days, so I won't get back to this for a while.
