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, 2007-05-21
Delgado Titan XXL v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL8) Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer The Titan XXL is used for large-scale civil engineering projects on extremely inhospitable worlds, like the initial starport construction or the excavation of buried arcologies. The excavator has a turret with a powerful shovel on a chassis with four tracks. The chassis holds a 2 MW fission reactor - environmental safety is hardly an issue where the Titan is used. The turret holds a small airlock and an air recycling system. The operator has low-light cameras and millimetric radar for restricted visibility conditions. Subassemblies: Body +4, four Tracks +3, full-rotation Turret +4. Powertrain: 1,800-kW tracked drivetrain; 2,000-kW fission reactor; 180,000-kWs rechargeable E power cell. Occ: 1 RCS. Cargo: 90 cf.

Tracks are 1,000 cf (increased volume). Turret is 1,000 cf. Structure is extra-heavy and standard. Improved suspension. Smart tracks. Armor is standard metal (DR 250 open frame over DR 50 normal armor on turret and body). Self-sealing. Computerized controls. 77.cf of empty space in the body and 96.5 cf of empty space in the turret. Empty weight is 398,000 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from GURPS Vehicles [2nd edition, 3rd printing, Dec 2004 errata], VXi, VXii (the armor volume rule) and the text format from Vehicles Lite. The Traveller background affects the design decisions, not the technology. Next Week: A TL9 grav speeder. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
