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, 2011-01-31
Starship Security Robot Mk.VIII v1.0 (TL15) Copyright 2011 by Onno Meyer The Security Robot fills shipboard police functions on interstellar or intergalactic starships. The robot is not very flexible when it comes to new situations, so supervision by sentient crewmembers is advisable, but it excels at tedious guard duty. The Mk.VIII is shaped like an upright egg, with four manipulator arms at 90° intervals around the body. Each arm mounts a different weapon as well -- a paralysis gun, a gamma-ray laser, a disintegrator and as last resort a fusion gun. The force screen can be tuned to reduce the sensor signature of the robot, or flash with police markings. Many structural and motive components are interchangeable with other models of the Mk.VIII series. It takes 163 seconds to recharge one fusion shot. Subassemblies: Body +0, four Arms -2. Powertrain: Four 250-lb. vectored super reactionless thrusters; two 10,000-lb. contragrav generators; 500-kW total conversion reactor; 4,050,000-kWs rechargeable power cell.
