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, 2010-11-15
Limpet Thruster Pack v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer The Limpet Thruster Pack was designed to move cargo between ships and orbital starports. It uses a tractor beam to grapple with containerized or breakbulk loads, even without specialized attachment points, and two thrusters for high maneuverability. Delta-V without payload is 378 kps. Usually the Thruster Pack is under remote control during docking and undocking operations, and under robotic control at most other times. The robot brain is programmed to prevent use as a personnel transport, but workers with the necessary override codes can use the Thruster Pack as a makeshift orbital transfer vehicle. The power cell lasts for 132 minutes at full thrust and tractor power. Subassemblies: Body +2. Powertrain: Two 5,000-lb. vectored super reactionless thrusters; 8,100,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Armor F RL B T U Body: 3/8 3/8 3/8 3/8 3/8 Equipment: Body: Two long-range radios; medium-range laser communicator; six x4 LLTVs; two 1-mile, high-resolution imaging radars; two transponders; inertial navigation system; two global positioning systems; C5 hardened, robotic, small computer (DX 10, IQ 8); ST 500 tractor beam.
