Ok, with any luck this works, if not, well, I'll know better ;-). The (hopefully) attached spreadsheet contains four sheets. The first lists the hull dimensions and overall (including things like masts and wings) dimensions of spelljammer ships, along with their ceiliung height and calculated volume. These were scaled of deckplans (where available) or available pictures of the ships. The other three sheets contain corrected dimensions, scaled so that the ships' volume matches its stated hull tonnage. As tonnage is a fairly important stat in Spelljammer (determining hull points, crew/cargo capacity, max. weapons loadout, and what sort of helms will function on the ship) I thought it was important not to change it (but see below). The three sheets are for three different values for how big a ton is: 1 ton = 100 cubic yards (as stated in the original campaign setting) 1 ton = 50 cubic yards (as used in Leroy's ship design system, and thus in widespread use). 1 ton = 1000 cubic feet (as used in Hackjammer, although ship tonnages have been re-scaled on this sheet so ATM it is the same as the 100 cubic yards sheet - I may have another look at this one, depending how well my guesses as to which Hackjammer ship is equivalent to which Spelljammer ship). For a few ships (mostly those that already exceed 100 tons) I've included alternative, larger versions who either have a tonnage that matches their stated dimensions, or who have been re-sized to match their artwork. Most of these have their proposed tonnage included in the ship name. At the moment, it includes every officially produced 2nd. edition Spelljammer ship I could find, and (hopefully) all the Hackjammer ships. I haven't included any of the Spider Moon ships. Anyway, if this actually works, I hope the file if of use to someone, Charles
