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, 2010-12-06
Captain's Gig v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer The Captain's Gig carries a pilot and three passengers from a starship in orbit down to the surface and up again. It is normally used by senior officers like the captain, with urgent business dirtside. The Gig has two rows with two narrow seats each, and there is no cargo capacity beyond a briefcase or a notebook. On the plus side, the Gig can reach Mach 4 at sea level on earthlike planets, and she is small enough to be carried on freighters without full hangar bays. The Captain's Gig could be used for interplanetary travel, but comfort and safety margins usually restrict her to orbital space. Subassemblies: Body +3.
