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. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2010-03-15
Terraforming Support Shuttle v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer The Terraforming Support Shuttle transports small teams and their gear from the mothership down to the surface and back again.
