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, 2010-06-21
Space Marine Support Warbot v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer Space Marines use this robot to carry their supporting weapons. Heavy infantry weapons draw a lot of enemy fire, so the expendable robot cuts down human casualties. The Support Warbot mounts a single weapon, often an x-ray or particle beam, an electromag mortar, or a missile launcher. Hovering on vectored thrust, the arc of fire is effectively 360°. The top speed on earthlike worlds is Mach 0.65. The avionics suite is mostly interchangeable with the Infantry Warbot, with the addition of a laser optics detector for more effective overwatch. The time to recharge one xaser shot depends on speed and sensor use, with a minimum of 55 seconds at rest. Subassemblies: Body +0.
