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, 2006-08-07
Sunflicker, modified LSP Quartermaster III v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10) Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer The Quartermaster III g-carrier was an unlikely basis for a mercenary AFV conversion, but after an encounter with Vargr raiders only the ammo sled of Paula's Panthers could be salvaged. It was named Sunflicker in an optimistic reference to the Imperial Sunburst MRL sled. In the field conversion, the reinforced cargo bed was raised by about 5' to create an enclosed troop compartment below. It holds 16 seats and three 75mm mortars with their ammunition. The hull is covered with 45mm ablative armor panels. The avionics are a mix of civilian and mil-spec systems. Subassemblies: Body +4. Powertrain: Two 4,800-lb. vectored standard reactionless thrusters; two 40,000-lb. contragrav units; 600-kW NPU; three 360,000-kWs rE power cells. Occ: 2 CCS, 16 CS. Cargo: 140 cf.
