for making the height variable - so halfling ships would actually have
halfling sized decks etc lol

Well, for instance, the triop can do a bunch of funky stuff I honestly cant
remember off hand, because its an advanced design.  Maybe a small list that
people can pick a coupla chocies from for advanced ships would be good..
like


* All turns are free, regardless of maneuverability class
* The ship is built all hole-y like the whitestars are, and thus a helmsman
can make a XXX roll to maneuver slightly enough to dodge missiles
* The ship can submerge for X rounds
* Ships design allows it to split into two smaller ships or somesuch

stuff like that ;)

When u get my xls sheet u'll see what I mean.  I added all the magical items
from the encyclopedia magica into an equipment section, with prices etc, and
size costs for some of the larger ones.
