The Vehicles rules are all-or-nothing. WIG (called flarecraft) get extra lift, which reduces stall speed, but the ceiling is limited to max(6', sqrt(wing area)). I did a flarecraft using the big (32-MW) fusion reactor from the cargo lifter. Twice the payload, 2/3th the speed, $3.7M. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
