seasong said:You are thinking of HERO System. With GURPS Vehicles, the design process takes into account slightly abstracted material weights, volume, mass/density (to float), mast design, how hydrodynamic the hull is, and so on, and then you use its hull type, mast type, wind speed, volume in contact with the water, and overall weight to calculate its maximum speed, accelleration/decelleration, ability to turn, etc.
I checked out the GURPS book. I was good but there wasn't enough in it to justify its purchase (esp since I've blown my budget recently). I put in on my "better days" list.
Airships, on the other hand, was exactly what I wanted for sea-ships. Anyone know if Bastion is planning another book in the series?
