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, 2009-01-05
Stealth Shuttlepod, Single Seat Version v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2009 by Onno Meyer The Stealth Shuttlepod carries one person from an orbiting starship to the surface of a planet and up again, if possible without detection by local sensor arrays. The spaceframe has a wedge shape with a single seat atop the power cells and engine. The canopy slides up and forward to allow easy access. The cargo compartment can be reached through the open canopy or in flight from the pilot seat (with some contortions). The power cells last for 149 minutes at full thrust, or for several weeks in orbit or on the ground. Subassemblies: Body +2.
