Hello everybody, I'm thinking about a vehicle with Vehicles 3E and all the Expansions, but not 4E or GURPS Traveller.
The starship consists of a 16' sphere for the bridge and quarters, a 75' long, 10' diameter girder framework, and another 16' sphere for the power plant and engines. Obviously three subassemblies, but what is what? * The engine sphere is a body, the girder frame is a superstructure, and the bridge sphere is another superstructure on top of it. * The girder frame is the body, with a superstructure for the bridge and a pod for the engine. * The girder frame is the body, and both spheres are superstructures. My inclination would be to make the girders the body, because that is the central subassembly. The advantage of a pod for the rear sphere is that there is just one superstructure and one pod, which simplifies the writeup. OTOH, engines in pods lack access space. And on a related note, do you think it is legit to have open-frame armor and nothing but a cargo hold in the body? It raises the question why the cargo won't fall through the gaps.
