rust said:Since I mentioned dimensions, too, I should perhaps explain what I was
thinking of.
I had something like the (otherwise not very convincing) d20 system in
mind, a single table which gives an approximate impression of the dimen-
sion of a vehicle based upon its volume. For example, in the Babylon 5
RPG a vehicle which is "Large" has a length of 8 to 16 feet, and I would
find a similar approximate information for the volume of vehicles very
useful. I am not very good at mathematics, and the way from, for ex-
ample, 10 dtons to an idea of the approximate dimensions of the vehi-
cle is a bit long for my brain and requires the use of a calculator.
So, no precise length/width/height, only a general idea of the size, from
which I can work out the details if I really need them.
A most welcome bonus would be different tables of that kind for ground
vehicles (usually more like boxes), aircraft (usually more slender and
therefore longer) and watercraft (usually about length 3 : width 1 becau-
se of hydrodynamics).
That wouldn't be a bad idea, if only for a basic sense of scale. I think T20 had something like that, and FF&S II did as well (don't know how accurate the latter was).
