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 Assault Lander Mk.VIII, Vehicles Version v1.0 (TL15)
Copyright 2011 by Onno Meyer
The Assault Lander is carried by the starships of an interstellar or
even intergalactic navy. The Lander is rugged, fast, and stealthy, but
she needs fire support from the mothership to make an opposed landing.
The Lander is roughly cylindrical, 30m long and 8m wide, with small
delta wings in the rear for aerodynamic stability and extra lift. The
hull is divided into the main deck with the crew and troop areas, and
crawlspaces above and below with the thrusters and power plants.
The cockpit has four workstations for the pilot, copilot, gunner, and
cargo master. Behind the cockpit are a small bunkroom and surgery, then
the port and starboard airlocks, and finally the troop bay with a cargo
ramp. The troop bay has 18 seats along each side, and room for cargo or
small vehicles in the center.
The Assault Lander mounts four gamma-ray lasers for point defense. It
takes 1.5 seconds to recharge one graser shot.
Subassemblies: Body +8.
Powertrain: Two ruggedized 12,500-ton vectored mega reactionless
thrusters; 5,000-ton hyperdrive; four 4,000-ton contragrav generators;

Design Notes
Body is 50,000 cf, with very good streamlining, lifting body, total
compartmentalization and underbelly skids. Structure is extra-heavy,
expensive, robotic. Armor is expensive laminate. Self-sealing.
Computerized controls with duplicate maneuver controls. 156.1 cf of
empty space. Empty weight is 1,920,000 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. The GM should probably
set a FTL factor well over 0.2, perhaps in the five figures to allow
intergalactic flights for the mothership.
Space Force Assault Lander Mk.VIII, Spaceships Version v1.0 (TL12^)
Design 2011 by Kenneth Peters, color text 2011 by Onno Meyer
The Assault Lander is carried by the starships of an interstellar or
even intergalactic navy. The Lander is rugged, fast, and stealthy, but
she needs fire support from the mothership to make an opposed landing.
The Lander is roughly cylindrical, 45m long and 8m wide, with small
delta wings in the rear for aerodynamic stability and extra lift. The
hull is divided into the main deck with the crew and troop areas, and
crawlspaces above and below with the thrusters and power plants.
The cockpit has four workstations for the pilot, copilot, gunner, and
cargo master. Behind the cockpit are a small bunkroom and surgery, then
the port and starboard airlocks, and finally the troop bay with a cargo
ramp. The troop bay has 30 seats along each side, and room for cargo or
small vehicles.
It has a streamlined 1,000-ton (SM +8) hull about 150 feet long.
