To the best of my knowledge, there is no numerical ship design material in GURPS Space. There is very extensive discussion of what sort of normal-space and hyperspace drives (if any) will lead to what sort of campaign. My understanding (bear in mind that I'm no sort of insider) is that many players found vehicle design (even in its simplified form, e.g. Space 3e) too complex and irrelevant to their needs. Therefore vehicle design will be covered in a separate book (available only as PDF to start with), which recently completed playtest. There will separately be vehicle catalogue books for specific campaign settings or groups of settings. >Also, anyone get the sense from the FIREFLY show (I must have missed it)-- is >there a FTL drive? If so, what is it? Warp, Jump, what? In the show it's not discussed. In the film it's apparently made clear that all the action is supposed to be happening in a single stellar system.
