This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. With a slight delay, old vehicles appear at http://omeyer.gmxhome.de/GURPSnet_files/summary.html Onno Meyer, 2006-03-26
ArcoTech Police Cart v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL9) Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer On very inhospitable planets, populations are often concentrated in a few arcologies. Vehicles for use within these buildings differ from the open country models - size matters, and bigger isn't always better. The Police Cart is equipped for riot control in a crowded and fragile environment. It can carry two police officers on the front bench and up to four prisoners in the rear. A bulldozer blade can be used to clear barricades and the electrified surface helps to herd protesters away >from critical facilities. At full speed, the power cells last for 10 hours.
