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, 2008-06-15
Master Biomech Tender v1.0 (TL12-16) Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer In the distant future, only artifacts remain of the enigmatic Masters who ruled the galaxy. Centuries of wear, tear, and the death of biomech components have degraded most relics -- an operational Worldship Tender like this one could change the history of entire systems. The Tender has a nominal payload of ten kilotons. Her main cargo hold is 400' long and 60' wide, not counting the cargo airlock in front. She is powered by a compact ZPE unit in the rear and twin thruster pods on the sides. A nose blister contains the cockpit with twenty comfortable workstations and most of the avionics. The connecting corridor from the cockpit to the engine room is lined by cabins and maintenance workshops. Subassemblies: Body +11, Superstructure +6, two Pods +7. Powertrain: Two 28,800,000-lb. TL12 vectored super reactionless thrusters; 3,600,000-kW TL16 cosmic power plant; 202,500,000-kWs TL12 rechargeable power cell. Occ: 20 bridge RCS, 20 single-occupancy cabins. Cargo: 1,000,000 cf.

Superstructure: Four TL12 extreme-range radios; two TL12 extreme-range tight-beam radios; two TL12 extreme-range laser communicators; TL12 1,000-mile multiscanner; TL12 1,000-mile gravscanner; TL12 400x astronomical LLTV; four TL12 flight recorders; two sets of TL12 precision navigation instruments; four TL12 IFF; six TL12 inertial navigation systems; four TL12, C9, biological, hardened, neural-net microframes; twenty TL12 computer terminals; two TL12 full fire suppression systems; two TL12 automeds; two TL12 75-man full life systems.

Superstructure is 4,000 cf. Pods are 18,000 cf each. Structure is TL12 , medium, very cheap, and biomechanical. Total compartmentalization. Armor is TL12, standard, composite. Sealed. TL12 computerized controls with quadruple maneuver controls. There are 23,896 cf of empty space in the body and 440 cf of empty space in the superstructure. Empty weight is 8,800,000 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, Dec 2004 errata], Robots, VXi (including the structural weight rule) and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite. Next Week: A slightly more battered relic. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
