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, 2008-10-06
SAR Rover v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer The SAR Rover is a variant of the basic Transport Rover for Search And Rescue on worlds with little or no atmosphere. It consists of two linked units with four wheels each. The forward unit mounts the cab with twelve seats, the power plant, and the life support. The rear unit contains an enlarged airlock and the medical gear - two automeds and an examination table. Other upgrades include a bulldozer blade and improved sensors. The Rover fits into Traveller games where contragrav is less effective (or more expensive) than described by GURPS Traveller. The cover of VXii could represent a Rover with additional trailers.
