I: How to design a vehicle

In this part, our purpose is to decide exactly HOW we design a
vehicle. This is important so that we know what we are doing when
we start expanding on things and making table.

At this point, the goal is to decide which components need to be
considered. Is a body and engine enough? Do you have to include
tires? What about chassis or suspension? How can we make it
realistic and keep it simple? All of these things have to be
considered.

Ince this part is done, then we go on to the actual design stage
and start making the appropriate tables.

We also have to decide how we want to define vehicles. Is it
easier to lump all ground vehicles together or should they be
considered seperate.

Same with engines. Should all engine types be the same for
purposes of construction, or do we need tables for all types?

This is where we start. Let the madness begin.

Come on guys. I saw that spurt of activity when armor came up, but since then
you boys and girls have been vegetating. Were in the home streach on cars.
Lets get rolling.

Comments:
This list seems to have suffered from the same summer drop off as the others,
except it has caused us to get almost no messages at all! Is anybody still out
there who wants to work on this?
