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.

Raider Assault Ship v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2011 by Onno Meyer A traditional Evil Overlord will have vast legions of warriors, so it makes sense to economize on their starships. The Raider Assault Ship is a simple, mass-produced surface attack craft. Or perhaps she was built by a small-scale cottage industry for semi-barbarian Space Vikings. The Assault Ship carries four crew and sixteen troops. The cockpit has consoles for the pilot, a flight mechanic, and two gunners for the light gatling blasters. Her cabin has twenty bunks, some equipment lockers and weapons racks, and two hatches with forcefield locks. The engine room in the rear contains the fusion reactor, the warp drive, and twin sublight thrusters. She is armed with a forward-firing blaster, two gatlings mounted next to the doors, and up to four tons of bombs and missiles. The power cell lasts for about 50 seconds of fire. After that, it takes 134 seconds to recharge one shot of the main blaster, or 5.4 seconds for one shot of a gatling. Subassemblies: Body +6, three retractable Wheels +3. Powertrain: Two 80,000-lb. vectored super reactionless thrusters; 80-WTF warp drive; 15-kW RTG; 10,000-kW fusion reactor; 9,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 4 bridge RCS, 20 bunks.
