Re: A problem to solve

The tonnage would be 1 ton per 2700 cubic feet.

But isn't the surface area of a circle equal to pi * square radius?????
Which would be something like:

270 * ( 3,14.... ) 2 = 2645 square ft. times the height = 2645 * 220 =
581900 cubic feet.
This dimension divided by 2700 to get the amount of tons we get = 215
tons.
Large but not immense. Compute the dimensions of the Illithid Dreadnaught
with these numbers.......

And in 2e the Ki Helm would be able to move a 200 ton ship like the
Tsunami. Reduce the height by a couple of feet to get a 200 ton vessel.
Put a Ki-Helm in the bastard and you'll be off.......

We do not have a 9300 ton ship but a 93305 / 2700 = 35 ton ship.

right thats one wee big momma ;)

sheer calculations following spelljammer ruleset:
10 foot cube is considered 1 ton if I remember
correctly

a 540' foot diameter means a surface of (
(Pi*diameter)/4 ) = (540*3,14...)/4 = 424 square feet

that multiplied by the heigth of the disc gives us the
cubic content of the ship => 424 * 220 = 93305 cube
feet

so that divided by 10 (being the amount of space one
ton takes in the spelljammer universe) would give you
a ship of approximately 9330 tons!!
that is if my calculations are correct (the formulas
are but as i said I'm not quite certain of the 10 cube
feet in 1 ton)

not as big as the spelljammer itself but still way to
big to move around using known means... biggest helm I
recall goes up to 200 tons...
