        <![CDATA[ Ahoy:


Here are a few items that would prove hugely useful if there is to be a follow-on version of Springsharp:


1) Nuclear Power: the size/weight/volume of the reactor(s) would be determined by their power output and how long the reactor is intended to operate between
refuellings


3) Missile Systems: these include but are not limited to cruise missiles, surface-to-air missiles, rolling airframe missiles, etc


4) Radar &amp; ECM systems


5) Vulcan CIWS (with the ability to choose the... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ahoy there, EMC:
<br>
<br>
An additional suggestion that occurred to me as I read your most recent post in this thread is to allow the designer of a vessel to choose different type of
ammunition for the same gun. For example, a 16&quot;/50-caliber gun could have both 1,900-lb HC and 2,700-lb AP shells in the same ammo load.
<br>
Also, the durability ratings (so many shells of a given weight or so many torpedoes to sink the ship) should be revised to include how many bombs of different
weights... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve thought of a few more <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/embarassed.gif" alt="image">
<br>
<br>

<ul>
  <li>Modeling of belts used as structure.  I believe this was done by the RN (starting with the pre-ww1 Town class) and the IJN.</li>

  <li>Some measure of deck area, ship beam, and ship length used up by guns.  I suspect that SpringSharp won&#39;t raise any red flags over a ship that&#39;s

			<description><![CDATA[ My main whish for a next springsharp is more cross correlance in the armour selection. That means if one wants to have inclined belt three things should
appear:
<br>
A) The belt height should reduce accordingly - or the belt weight should increase for the same height
<br>
B) The deck area should increase and thus - in case an armour deck is selected to lay on the top of the main belt- the armour deck should become much heavier.
<br>
C) The space below water should reduce more.
<br>
<br>
One... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Additionally, I would also like to see Springsharp do the stats for 19th-century smoothbore muzzleloading guns accurately. I tried to do a sail-steam driven
design armed with long 32-PDR smoothbores and 68-PDR carronades, and the program said the shell weight was too light.

			<description><![CDATA[ Ahoy there, Psilander:
<br>
<br>
Thank you for mentioning gas turbine engines, I had neglected to do so when I posted the message. As for the line drawings I mentioned, my original idea was
that Springsharp could produce drawings that would show what the ship looked like as designed, including the location of the various turrets and other
above-deck structures.

			<description><![CDATA[ I tend to think that Messrs Ross Gowan would have difficulty fitting the largely volume-constrained modern warships into what is, in essence, a tool to roughly
model weight-controlled warships.
<br>
<br>
What I would like to see would be:
<br>

<ul>
  <li>Better modelling of diesel vs steam machinery</li>

  <li>Some modelling of learning curve benefits when building multiple units of one design</li>
</ul>Of course, the one thing that I&#39;ve most desired -- the ability to specify power --... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Good suggestion, but maybe abit over the top. Side and top sketches would be nice, but they don&#39;t have to more advanced than the present.
<br>
<br>
My suggestions
<br>
1. A way to choose ship type som the numbers can be adjusted for battleships to destroyers or even FACs.
<br>
2. Missiles in either box, rail och VLS launcher Volumebased system similar to the present torpedosystem, but more detailed.
<br>
3. I like the sensor idea but I&#39;m not sure how it would work out.
<br>
4.... ]]></description>
