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, 2012-06-04
Light Transport Mk.III v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer The Light Transport carries a couple of interstellar merchants to the stars, to profit and adventure. The Mark III has room for a pilot and a mechanic, up to four passengers, and roughly 20 tons of cargo. The starship has two decks. The cargo hold is on the lower deck, with a wide ramp for loading. The upper deck contains the bridge, the cabins, the reactor, and the hyperdrive. The two sublight thrusters are mounted in pods, along with the power cells for emergency power. It takes 185 minutes to recharge the power cells for one hyperspace entry. A full load of provisions is $1,200. Subassemblies: Body +7, two Pods +4.
