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, 2008-10-20
Utility Rover v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer The Utility Rover can carry up to four humans on worlds with little or no atmosphere. An airlock in the rear allows access to the Rover without loss of cabin pressure. A small area between the seats allows one or two persons at a time to suit up. The life support has bottled air for up to 75 hours, but the quarters of the Rover are only suitable for missions of a day or less. The Rover fits into Traveller games where contragrav is less effective (or more expensive) than described by GURPS Traveller. Subassemblies: Body +4, four Off-Road Wheels +1.
