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 Boat Mk.IV, Vehicles Version v1.0 (TL11)
Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer
The Galactic Patrol Boat is used for search and rescue, surveys, and
law enforcement on the spacelanes. She can operate from Patrol Cutters
on lonely patrols or surface bases in busy systems.
The Patrol Boat has a cockpit with four workstations, a tiny sickbay
with two automeds, and a cabin with sixteen folding seats. The airlock
in the bow has a docking tube, decontamination systems, and a powerful
tractor beam for rescue operations. The small craft mounts two rotary
launchers for missiles, robots, or small buoys, and a retractable laser
turret.
It takes 5 minutes to recharge one shot of the 5.76-MJ X-Ray Laser.
Subassemblies: Body +6, full-rotation pop Turret +2.
Powertrain: Four 250,000-lb. vectored super reactionless thrusters; two
250-ton hyperdrives; ruggedized 15-kW RTG; 64,000-kW fusion reactor;
four 50,625,000-kWs rechargeable power cells.
Occ: 4 RCS, 16 folding RS.
