For only two, you can use the smaller as a second drive, which my sheet supports, then toggle to combine the capability of the two. More than that just drags the spreadsheet down multiple pages for little effect.

Still working on a profitability tab and other fixes, including more on the breakaway hulls, but @paltrysum noted that only the weapon get charged for advantages, and my current formula had the hardpoint added in the wrong spot. D'oh. That has been fixed, along with a couple of minor...

That is going to be an issue. You can have an unlimited number of breakaway hulls, and if each has a different set of advantages, you need something much more user friendly for data entry than an old school Excel sheet for the combined ship.

"Successful" would definitely fix it.

Everything but the firearms works and can be done in one spreadsheet (each), making creation a breeze. My medic/roboticist player uses Geir's free sheet extensively. I made a Kel-Tec KSG-DM Shotgun three years ago because one of my characters wanted one, and ever since, there have been no custom...

You know a construction ruleset is messed up when NO ONE has been able to spreadsheet the whole set.

Hulk Buster or Battletech Elementals should illustrate the maximum size before they become vehicles

Even better.

Right. As you quoted earlier, the improved capacitors that allowed a delay of engaging the jump, so that the drop tanks can get clear, did not operate under a system that filled a bubble with hydrogen.

That was under the system that did not use hydrogen to expand a jump bubble.

100D for my 90 meter long Orca, which is 2000 tons, is 9 km. So once you are 100D from the planet, not long.

Based on the conversation over using breakaway hulls as powered drop tanks on 1,000 ton freighters, the Freight Booster 500 is submitted for your lampooning and abuse. The 500 ton booster attaches to a 1000 ton freighter (It has a spare clamp that allows it to propel up to a 2000 ton freighter)...

Wow... a six year old thread-necro to rebut a guy who hasn't posted here for 14 months. Now THAT is a dead horse. ;)

Liberty ships were pretty close.

"Expect us." No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
