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, 2008-10-13
Transport Rover v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer The Transport Rover carries passengers and cargo on worlds with little or no atmosphere. It consists of two units with four wheels each, with a flexible connection. The front unit holds the cab with twelve seats, the life support systems, and an isotope battery. The rear unit holds cargo lockers and the airlock. Specialized variants of the Rover are used for exploration, search and rescue, and security. 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.
