Several problems, actually :-( One technical problem: The free FOP formatter doesn't do autosized tables (yet?), and if I get the trial version of the commercial AH formatter I have 30 days to finish the project. One layout problem: The main vehicle writeups are best formatted in two columns on printout and the weapon tables need the full page. That is how both Vehicles and Vehicles Lite do it, anyway. Works fine if you have a dozen sample vehicles and two or three dozen guns and missiles, but my collection is probably too large to make that usable. Three conceptual problems: Lite has different weapons with the same caliber and TL, like three TL7 7.62mm MGs, but it keeps them apart with real-world designations. What if I have two different fictional 1.44-MJ X-Ray Lasers? The table format can cope with different ammo in one weapon, like HE and HEAT rounds, but what about different weapons for the same ammo? My solution will probably involve links, but that gives the third problem: how to I link to typical hardpoint and weapon bay loads?
