This reminds me of a recurring problem I've had for years, made worse with the publication of Fire, Fusion, and Steel some years ago......


I have tried, off and on, to find some way to both ensure that my deckplans, etc, for Star HERO campaigns were accurate to the size of the ship, etc.

I have tried for years to figure out how to appropriately describe a ship's size.

I have tried for years, after figuring out the deckplans, etc, to design a ship with the right amount of 'size' to cover everything.

Perhaps it is the Traveller geek in me; I don't know. But I've never been able to reconcile all these things perfectly to the HERO system.

Now I'll be the first to admit that the new vehicle rules didn't sink in, so I stuck with the old ones. So the problem could be one of my own devising.

But has anyone out there ever successfully reconciled vehicle volume against hexes against size?

I can do fine if I want a one-floor starship with two-meter ceilings. But I'd really like to do better than that........


HELP!!!! :shock:
