Re: A problem to solve

EEhhhhhh. Yup. I stand corrected.

220 ton was a bit small for such a vessel, but numbers do not lie......

So this ship would be large as the spelljammer itself. So you need a
unique type of helm to move the vessel....

Sorry to be a pain but pi*square of the radius is more like:-
270*270*(3.14etc) = 229022 sq feet.
This gives 50384862 cubic feet or a tonnage of 18661.

You need rather a lot more than your normally available helm to get this
ship spaceborne....
One for those sun-mages of Astromundi perhaps?
