multiverse however we choose, and I don't want to
sound too terribly cannonical, but does anyone have
any suggestions on how to remedy this conflict without
reworking the entire Manual of The Planes? The reason
I ask this question is that in my SpellJammer
Campaign, the PC's have installed certain magics on
their HammerHead which allow them to go 'ethereal' -
sort of a cloaking device - which alternatively allows
them to travel that route to the inner/outter planes
in their ship.>>
This was recently discussed, but IIRC no consensus was ever reached.  My
suggestion was that the SJ universe be one of the alternate prime material
universes.  Or you could take the easy route and ignore what WotC's trying to
do to the multiverse.

<<2) Can someone point me in the direction of a complete
list of D&D official spheres/systems that would appear
in the SpellJammer setting?>>
    There might be one in one of the later products (like the WCC or CSFH),
but AFAIK no one's ever made one.  The release of post-SJ worlds is somewhat
different.  The question was never answered for Aebyrnis (Birthright).
Mystara is specifically NOT in the SJ universe.  Athas (Dark Sun) may or may
not be in the SJ universe--if it is, it's in a crystal sphere closed to SJ
traffic.  (Note to Static, this would be a good thing to put on Compendium).

3) In your or anyone's opinion (this one is for fun),
which SpellJamming vessel is the best?

Personally, I've always liked the illithid ships--the nautiloid, octopus, and
dreadnaught.  Heavily armed, nice and roomy.
