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, 2007-12-31
Aerospace Microfighter v1.0 (TL9) Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer The Aerospace Microfighter is a modified racing spacecraft, armed with a 10mm railgun under the nose and two small wingtip lasers. She could be at home among the moons of Jupiter, a terraformed Mars or the Belt. True to her racing origins, the fighter has an impressive atmospheric speed and acceleration, while avionics and endurance are below military standards. A simple stealth coating protects her from civilian sensors. A full load of railgun ammunition is $6,000. Subassemblies: Body +3, four retractable Wheels +0, two Wings -1. Powertrain: 24,000-lb. fusion rocket; eight 270,000-kWs rechargeable power cells. Fuel: 200 gallons water. Occ: 1 NCS.
