Would Anyone be Interested in a Vehicles 3rd Ed Workbook?

With VDS taking so long to come, every so often I find myself looking in the direction of Vehicles and I think with a LOT of work I could make a workbook, or series of workbooks, to automate the process.

As much as I respect the work ericbsmith has done in developing and maintaining his Spaceships spreadsheet it does use Macro's and I find that results in it being rather slow and at least with Vehicles I think I can do it without them, making the whole process much faster, if somewhat less easy to use.

I've already played around with doing Beam Weapons, and from the looks of things it is possible to do things the way I describe with only a single minor problem.

Now I'm under no illusions that this isn't a mammoth undertaking, and it may well be the case that I don't get past an initial proof-of-conecpt stage before VDS does come out, but what I aim to do may well have an impact on post-VDS workbooks.

So is anyone interested?
