GURPS 4th Edition Spaceships v1.3 2008 NEW pb
Published in 2008, this GURPS 4th Edition sourcebook from Steve Jackson Games written by David J. Pulver is NEW: Brand new unread copy.
Three, two, one - Blast off!
GURPS Spaceships is the companion to GURPS Space, presenting rules for TL7-12 spacecraft, from tiny lifeboats to giant dreadnoughts. It covers spaceship design, travel, and operations, along with a (mapless) space combat system.
The ship design and operation rules in GURPS Spaceships are more abstract than those found in GURPS Vehicle Design or GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars, but they're much faster; with a minimum of math and a maximum of colorful options. It takes only minutes to build even the largest spaceship . . . and wrapped around the design system are basic space travel and combat systems to get you into space right away.
GURPS Spaceships doesn't include detailed finance, trade, or hex-grid based combat rules, but these are on the way! It's the core book in a series whose other volumes will present examples of ready-to-use spacecraft and comprehensive rules for commercial space flight, warfare, exploration, ports, industry, and other aspects of space travel.
GURPS Spaceships requires only the GURPS Basic Set, but GURPS Space is highly recommended for its guidelines on stardrives, characters, campaigns, and settings.
Shipping & Handling
If you live outside the US, including Canada: Media Mail, First Class, and Priority Mail shipping are not available. I prefer to ship by Global Priority Mail, where available, because your item arrives in 4-6 days. I am happy to offer Global Priority Mail Flat-Rate Envelope where available, but please realize that the envelope offers little protection to the item. Please note that I will not lie on customs forms and list items as gifts, when they are not. All payments must be in US dollars. Your shipping cost is calculated as closely as possible to the actual cost and then includes $2.18 for the sturdy envelope (*not* the flimsy ones provided by the US Postal Service). Global Priority Mail includes a tracking number. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide insurance for international packages. Please note that any customs duties are the responsibility of the bidder.
US bidders: The listed shipping cost is calculated as closely as possible to the actual cost, and then includes $2.18 for the cost of the sturdy cardboard envelope I use to ship. All US orders include delivery confirmation. If you do not purchase insurance, I cannot be held responsible for items lost by the Postal Service.
Remember, Media Mail can take up to six weeks for delivery. If you do elect Media Mail shipping, I highly recommend insurance. |  | US Shipping |

About Me
Hail and well met! Welcome to Hieroglyphs Books! I've been a gamer for 20 years (wow, that's scary!), and so you can be sure that I'm describing items accurately as to condition and contents. I've used most of the modules and books myself, so I know what's supposed to be there.
I work full-time in addition to selling books on eBay, so please be patient if you don't receive an immediate response from me. I do try to ship items the next day after payment is received, though that may not always be possible. Condition Description
I try to describe my items as clearly as possible, so you understand exactly what you are bidding on.
- New: Item still in shrinkwrap, or has obviously never been used.
- Mint: Shrinkwrap has been removed, or shrinkwrap is damaged. There are no material faults with the cover and the pages.
- Near Mint: There are one or two small flaws with the cover or the pages. This would include whitening on cover edges or stray pencil marks inside.
- Very Good: Item has multiple small flaws, such as whitening or stray pencil marks.
- Good: Item has multiple flaws that could include damage to covers or pages. Does not affect the useability of the item.
- Acceptable: Item has a large number of flaws, but item is still useable.
Return Policy
I want you to be happy with your purchase. Unlike other stores, all sales are not final. If the item you receive differs materially from what I listed, please contact me within 30 days of auction close, and I will refund your purchase price (minus any shipping charges). However, if you do not purchase insurance, I am not responsible for items lost by the post office. Winning More Auctions
