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

Space Force Personnel Lander Mk.VIII, Vehicles Version v1.0 (TL15)
Copyright 2011 by Onno Meyer
The Personnel Lander is carried by interstellar craft for ship to ship
and orbit to surface travel. The cabin has seats for four passengers and
crew, with a small airlock in the rear and enough room to get into space
suits. The Lander is designed for trips of a few hours at most, but air
and power will last as longer than that.
Subassemblies: Body +4.
Powertrain: Two 250,000-lb. vectored mega reactionless thrusters; four
20,000-lb. contragrav generators; two 15,000-kW total conversion power
plants; 4,050,000-kWs rechargeable power cell.
Occ: 2 RCS, 2 RS.
Armor F RL B T U
Body: 4/750* 4/750* 4/750* 4/750* 4/750*
* plus force screen generator as described below.
Equipment:
Body: Two long-range neutrino communicators; two extreme-range gravity
ripple communicators; two 100-mile AESAs; two 300-lightsecond FTL
radars; two 100-mile PESAs; 100-mile multiscanner; 50-AU Hyperspace
Emergence detector; 50-AU FTL scan detector; precision navigation
instruments; four IFF; four inertial navigation systems; four C10
hardened, robotic minicomputers; two terminals; two neural induction
fields; compact fire suppression system; 1-man airlock; FSR 10 complex
shaped screen generator (DR 2,000); two 5-man full life support systems;
grav unit; four gravity webs. External: Radiation shielding.

Design Notes
Body is 500 cf, with heavy compartmentalization and underbelly skids.
Structure is heavy, standard, robotic. Armor is standard metal. Sealed.
Computerized controls with duplicate maneuver controls. 117.8 cf empty
space. Empty weight is 19,200 lbs.
The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third
printing, December '09 errata], VXi and VXii (including the armor volume
rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite.
Space Force Personnel Lander Mk.VIII, Spaceships Version v1.0 (TL12^)
Design 2011 by Kenneth Peters, color text 2011 by Onno Meyer
The Personnel Lander is carried by interstellar craft for ship to ship
and orbit to surface travel. The cabin has seats for four passengers and
crew, with a small airlock in the rear and enough room to get into space
suits. The Lander is designed for trips of a few hours at most.
It has a streamlined 10-ton (SM +4) hull about 30 feet long.
