What 4e Vehicles .pdfs do people want to see?

Mgellis · 11-21-2009, 01:20 AM

It appears that the plan for 4e vehicle books is to publish them as .pdfs, each one featuring a related group of vehicles like "World War II fighters" or "Motorcycles."

Okay, here's my question...

What 4e Vehicles .pdfs do people want to see written and published as e23 e-books? What is the wish list of the Hive Mind? :)

I have a thing for light armoured vehicles such as the Ferret and Fox armoured cars, the Cadillac Gauge V-series vehicles, and so forth. I could (and probably will) come up with stats of my own for them, but I have had so much going on lately that the project keeps slipping my mind.

What I am most interested in, though, are some solid guidelines for converting real-world stats into GURPS 4e terms. Converting real-world armour into GURPS DR has always been a bit of a problem with me, as has calculating HT and HP from real-world statistics. If I had workable official (or even semi-official) guidelines compiled into one readily-accessible location, however...

I got to drive a friends LAV-25 once, so I've always liked seeing the stats for those.

Old vehicles. Carts, wagons, carriages, chariots, litters, rowing and sailing ships across cultures and periods. Basically "Vehicles TL 4 and below."

I'd also like to see a sort of "Steam Vehicles" type of thing. Steam ships, riverboats, locomotives, etc.

Cheers.

It would be a dream if they could produce a series of the complexity of Spaceships.
Sailing Vessels
Aircraft
AFVs
doodling:)

Age of Sail boats and ships
Victorian vehicles
Cold War non-military vehicles

What I'd like out of those is predominantly common, everyday vehicles (TL4 rowboat, Hansom cab, police cruiser), which will see most frequent use, with a handful of serious combat or weird-tech vehicles (man-o-war, steampunkish land leviathan, tricked out James Bond car) for climactic use in adventures.

PDFs are okay, but only if a big hardback is produced first. I'd really like that.

Modern military vehicles. Civilian vehicles are easy to stat out - it's ones with armor, weapons, more or less redundant systems or maintenance requirements, etc., that are difficult, and that's primarily military vehicles. Plus, stats matter more when a vehicle is engaged in combat than pretty much any other time.

I'm pretty much with Ed and Langy. Modern military vehicles.

Seeing combat airplanes and helicopters would be cool, from say, the last 50-60 years.

I've always had a thing for the Mig-29, and I'm a fan of the Ace Combat series. :D

I'd like to see it per TL or group of TLs.
Low Tech, High Tech & Ultra Tech Vehicles for example.
Perhaps subdivide those into Air/Water/Ground, or alternatively, Military/Civilian. Or both.
Low Tech Vehicles should probably include all of those in a single .pdf though. :)

But what I really wanna see is a "build-your-own-vehicle-stats" though.
