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. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or later the old stuff should reappear at omeyer.gmxhome.de Onno Meyer, 2007-04-23
SpinDevCorp OmniMover v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL7) Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer The SDC OmniMover is a very large earthmover for planets with tainted atmospheres. The size and shape of the tracked vehicle are close enough to a 7-dton ATV to fit into standard cutter modules. Most of the chassis is taken by the fuel cell and hydrogen tanks. The hydraulic arm of the power shovel extends forward along the center line. The OmniMover can haul 100 tons of earth and rocks at a time. The small cab with one seat and an airlock is mounted on the left. The fuel cell burns 225 gallons of hydrogen per hour. A full load of fuel is $300. Subassemblies: Body +5, two Tracks +4. Powertrain: 1,200-kW tracked drivetrain; 1,500-kW fuel cell; 5,000-kWs advanced battery. Fuel: 3,000 gallons hydrogen (fire 13). Occ: 1 RCS.

The Traveller background affects the design decisions, not the technology.
