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, 2012-04-23
Scout Singleship Mk.IV v1.0 (TL11) 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. The Mark IV has a cylindrical hull with small fins in the rear. She is divided into three compartments. The nose section holds the avionics and a gatling laser. The engine room in the stern mounts the hyperdrive, the thrusters, and the reactor. Sandwiched in between is the cabin with the flight controls, a bunk, cramped sanitary facilities, a small workshop, and equipment lockers. It takes 4.5 hours to recharge the power cell for a hyperspace entry, and 13 seconds to recharge one laser shot. Subassemblies: Body +4. Powertrain: Two vectored 20,000-lb. super reactionless thrusters; 20-ton hyperdrive; 3,600-kW fusion reactor; 9,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 1 bridge RCS, 1 bunk. Cargo: 90 cf.
