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, 2011-07-25
IISS High Pressure Work Suit v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL12) Copyright 2011 by Onno Meyer When the Scout Service required specialized gear for operations in the atmosphere of gas giants, they had to start their own R&D project. Since then, several Imperial megacorps have licensed the HPWS for prospectors on hot greenhouse worlds. The Work Suit has 23mm bonded superdense armor on the torso, and 19mm on the limbs. The contragrav is rated for 8.3 G, with double redundancy. The suit only has a basic avionics suite, but mission-specific gear can be added on two arm mounts (usually contact sensors or tools), a large bracket over the stomach and a smaller one on the head. Subassemblies: Body +0, two Legs -1, limited-rotation Turret -2, two Arms -2.
