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, 2008-03-24
IISS Covert Observation G-Carrier v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10-12) Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer In addition to survey and first contact, the IISS is charged with the covert surveillance of planets beyond the borders of the Imperium. Most deep cover observers bring nothing but an open mind and a few memorized recognition codes, but there are times when specialized equipment is worth the risk. The Covert Observation G-Carrier started out as a standard commercial model, purchased in the border worlds. The avionics were ripped out and replaced by disguised state-of-the-art systems - a wideband radscanner, specialized systems to listen to computer and radio communications, and high-end computers to make sense of it all. The transponder and ID tags were replaced by reprogrammable models to change the identity at the flick of a button. The G-Carrier could probably pass a safety or customs inspection, but a full forensics check will reveal the modifications ... Subassemblies: Body +4.
