Subject: Re: [FT] Scale in Full Thrust

All this talk about scale in FT has reminded me to post some questions
to
the list.

I am writing a GURPS campaign that uses Full Thrust for the space
combat...
nothing too different.

However, there is a twist to it.  It is reminiscent of the SPELLJAMMER
stuff
from the AD&D days.  Basically, I am planning to use enchanted items as
the
technology (i.e. use magic items for all of the ship systems).	Granted,
it
being enchanted items, the mass will have to be tweaked (i.e. how big is
a
ballista?).

My question is, what scale should I use for mass?  Assuming "ancient"
ships
(galleons, viking ships, etc), what would I mass them at?  That is the
initial question, because after that it would not be too hard to plug in
the
rest.  I just need something to base it all on.  HELP.

Thank You (in advance)
