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, 2011-07-18
IISS High Pressure Cutter v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL12) Copyright 2011 by Onno Meyer The High Pressure Cutter was designed to Scout Service specifications for operations deep within the atmosphere of a gas giant. The cutter is rated for 1,000 atmospheres pressure, and it should be able to survive twice as much before it gets crushed. The HPC has a cockpit with four workstations, and a payload bay with sixteen folding seats along the side. The decks are reinforced to hold High Pressure Work Suits, which are 1.2 tons each, and the airlock is large enough for seven of these oversized suits at a time. There are four separate engine rooms, with redundant fusion reactors, contragrav generators, and thrusters. Internal bulkheads help to limit minor penetrations to a single compartment. Subassemblies: Body +7. Powertrain: Four 640-ton vectored super reactionless thrusters; four 6,400-ton ruggedized contragrav generators; four 80,000-kW ruggedized fusion reactors; twelve 540,000-kWs rechargeable E power cells. Occ: 4 bridge RCS, 16 folding CS. Cargo: 1,488 cf.

Structure is extra-heavy, advanced, with total compartmentalization. Armor is advanced metal. Self-sealing. Computerized controls with duplicate maneuver controls. 78 cf of empty space. Empty weight is 2,500,000 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, December '09 errata], VXi, VXii (including the armor volume rule), and GURPS Traveller with the text format from Vehicles Lite. Next Week: The work suit. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
