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, 2009-01-12
Stealth Shuttlepod, Twin Seat Version v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2009 by Onno Meyer The Stealth Shuttlepod carries two persons from an orbiting starship to the surface of a planet and up again, if possible without detection by local sensor arrays. The pod has two seats under gullwing hatches. The pilot on the left side has the thought-operated controls (an added security feature on primitive worlds), the passenger on the right side has no workstation (and some variants fit the seat with memory plastic restraints). The cargo bay between the twin engines could hold another passenger, but it lacks life support. The power cells last for 148 minutes at full thrust, or for several weeks in orbit or on the ground.
