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

Galactic Patrol Cutter Mk.IV, Vehicles Version v1.0 (TL11)
Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer
The Galactic Patrol Cutter is used for search and rescue, surveys, and
law enforcement on the spacelanes. She might be the only starship in her
patrol area on the borders of known space, or simply the first responder
in a busy system, either way she must be ready for anything ...
The 100' Cutter has two decks. The upper deck contains the bridge, the
crew cabins, a surgery, and two passenger lounges which can be converted
into emergency quarters for more than a hundred people, as long as they
don't mind a little crowding. The lower deck contains a forward docking
airlock, equipment and cargo lockers, the engine rooms, and a bay for a
40' Patrol Boat in the rear.
The Patrol Cutter is lightly armed with two 200mm launchers for space
combat missiles, drones, or buoys, and four missile defense lasers.
It takes 1.1 seconds to recharge one shot of a 7.2-MJ X-Ray Laser.
Subassemblies: Body +8, four full-rotation pop Turrets +3.
Powertrain: Four 2,500,000-lb. vectored super reactionless thrusters;
four 1,250-ton hyperdrives; ruggedized 75-kW RTG; two 300,000-kW
fusion reactor; four 506,250,000-kWs rechargeable power cells.
