Re: Tips for Space Ships while you say no to nuclear missiles, what about detonation laser nukes?

Re: Star Hero Command or cheat... find a copy of the GURPS Ship Designer software for GURPS Space or GURPS Traveller, check assorted archives for the freeware version, it allows you to fiddle with mass and G ratings etc Tom Bont wrote the software originally

Re: Vehicle: The Marauder heres a great site that has a fair bit of info on a lot of modern vehicles...

RG series of MRAPs, Aussie Bushmaster
