Partial bump: You REALLY should get some piccies up!

Partial 'shiny': Can you imagine someone really working on life-size versions, even on a parade float?

The rules (not the whole box, just the rulebook, reference charts, deckplans and maps) are for sale as PDF via RPGNow.

I have fond memories of Sky Galleons; a cousin owned it and we spent whole weekends cruising the skies of Mars. You could break the ship construction rules quite easily; we built some insane monster ships! The simple campaign system was neat, with the strategic map and such.

I'll have to wishlist the Sky Galleons PDF and pick it up sometime now that I'm thinking about it!

The groups I game with have a number of larger scale ships too. Generally we only see two to four ships playing a support role to a table engagement. We use Sky Galleons for larger ship to ship actions. I would keep the rules & play them.
