    How do I create a Vehicle (ship) in FG?

    I am at a total loss here. I have finally found enough resources to create my own system of naval and aviation warfare in the form of ships but can't figure out how to actually add the information I want to my FG module. I can't seem to add the ship as an item because not enough information is displayed. Here is ideally what I am wanting to include in the ship description.
    Ship Type Size* Speed** AC HP DMG Thresh Crew Pass Cargo Mounts^ Cost
    Caravel 5/70/20 2 (s) 11 300 15 20 20 100 3/1 10,000gp

    I heard it would be best to make some sort of a reference table of some sorts followed by making a custom NPC that the players can control for combat scenes. Either way for now I just want to begin entering raw data for the shipboard part of my campaign.
    *Size draft/length/breadth in feet **Speed is measured in MPH or 10 times that in movement grids.
    ^Mounts is light weapon mounts / heavy weapon mount.

    My source is "https://olddungeonmaster.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/5e_nautical_adventures.pdf" as well as "https://www.tribality.com/2014/12/26/naval-combat-rules-dd-5th-edition-part-1/" and "Izzy's Guide to Fight and Flight."

    Are you using CoreRPG or 5e?

    For 5e create items just like those in the 5e PHB Waterborne Vehicles. All you'll have are boxes for the Cost and and type. The other bits of information you'll need to include in the description. If you want these to actually be used in a combat situation you'll need to enter them as NPCs. In 5e things like Damage Threshhold aren't recognised so you'll need to work out damage manually most likely.

    Not so sure about CoreRPG, but possibly with MoreCore you can add in more boxes.

    For CoreRPG, there is minimal fields, since it's game system agnostic. The assumption is that you place any relevant details in the notes.

    Ok I figured that is what I would have to do. I was well prepared to begin creating base NPC ship hulls. Also it is possible to attach a graphic to a newly created item right?

    Yes, you can drag an image into the notes space of an item to create a link to that image.
