Love it!

Works great for all ship sizes and types. Obviously requires knowledge of the traveller rpg to know whats going on in the app but it works great. Takes out a lot of drudgery. Thanks!

Response from developer

Glad you’re enjoying it!

Great for dreamers

I love the app! I can spend hours or even days designing ships and tweaking them to get just the right fit for things I want. This app is helpful and just plain fun. Thank you
