Any armor will just be applied as armor anyway, wood and steel and stuff out of the Cover tables, so I guess I DON'T need to use GURPS vehicles... thank god.Siegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745434959272272759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120457452312005091.post-88751242160518803662014-10-13T17:40:05.926-07:002014-10-13T17:40:05.926-07:00For ground vehicles it's alright, but I'm ...For ground vehicles it's alright, but I'm fairly certain you have to calculate the lift/bouyancy based on the size of the wings/hull, while factoring their weight in. If I recall, the equation they gave was the solved differential equation for lift. I had the misfortune to attempt to build a player a ground effect flybike.<br /><br />If I can just handwave it with a bit of googling, I totally will, although that doesn't give me things like DR and rules for derailing and such. Although... I might be able to find those and fudge from Steampunk, which was much less annoying about things, now that I think of it. <br /><br />I also can't seem to find my GURPS vehicles book, which is a blessed relief almost. GURPS vehicles could be so good if they actually did just a bit of simplification (They give rules for things like space per occupant, but give no frame of reference. The whole point of a book of that sort is to include such information, X cubic feet for cramped, Y for average, and Z for luxurious, etc)Siegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745434959272272759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120457452312005091.post-5268844529593080972014-10-13T15:30:10.528-07:002014-10-13T15:30:10.528-07:00Don't use them!
