Subject:  Re: Helm limitations
    OK, I've played Spelljammer on and off for about 7 years, and just
the other day I noticed something in the Lorebook of the Void that I'd
never noticed before. Under the descriptions of the Hammership and the
Man-o-War it lists power type as major OR MINOR helms. How can a minor
helm power a 60 ton ship? Is this a misprint, or do you think minor
helms were originally supposed to have an upper limit of 60 tons rather
than 50? Thinking about it it seems to make sense to me that this was
originally the case since otherwise why would there be so many ships
that are 60 tons? You would think that ship designers would want to
design ships to be at the upper limit of what a minor helm could power,
so you would think that if the upper limit was supposed to be 50 tons
there would be a lot of 50 ton ships out there and not so many 60 ton
ones. What do people think?

the pain will drown
your silent screams

and you want it all
