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, 2008-09-22
Patrol Rover v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer The Patrol Rover is used as a security and law enforcement vehicle on worlds with little or no atmosphere. The basic Rover chassis, two units with four wheels each, carries extra armor with a low-signature coating. The front unit holds a cabin with nine seats, life support, the isotope battery, and a laser turret. The rear unit contains the airlock, a brig for two prisoners, and equipment lockers. In combat, the large payload section becomes a liability, but it helps during routine missions ... The Rover fits into Traveller games where contragrav is less effective (or more expensive) than described by GURPS Traveller.
