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, 2012-04-16
Scout Singleship Mk.III v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer The Singleship is an interstellar exploration craft for one scout. Her pilot will get all the rewards -- and face all the risks -- that wait on an unexplored planet. Most of the needle-shaped hull is taken by the sublight thrusters, the hyperdrive, and the fusion reactor. The cabin contains a workstation for the pilot, a bunk, a few cargo lockers, and the life support. There is no airlock, so the entire cabin must be depressurized for EVA. The range and endurance of the Singleship are limited mostly by the food supply, roughly 20 parsecs and 250 days. It takes 62 minutes to recharge the power cell for a hyperspace entry. Subassemblies: Body +5. Powertrain: Two vectored 15,000-lb. super reactionless thrusters; 10-ton hyperdrive; 16,000-kW fusion reactor; 3,600,000-kWs rechargeable power cell.
