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, 2012-06-18
Light Transport Mk.V v1.0 (TL12) Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer The Light Transport carries a couple of interstellar merchants to the stars, to profit and adventure. For operations on the edge of civilized space, the Mark V has a cloaking device, but she mounts no weapons. The starship has a pyramidal hull with a slightly elongated nose. The forward section has the flight deck with two crew stations, four escape pods, and the living quarters. The spartan interior contains just four bunks, a head, and a small galley counter, but there is plenty of room to move about. The cargo section is in the middle of the ship, and the engines are mounted in the rear. It takes 8.5 hours to recharge the power cell for one hyperspace entry. A full load of provisions is $3,600. Subassemblies: Body +7. Powertrain: Two 200,000-lb. reactionless thrusters; 600-ton hyperdrive; two 400,000-lb. contragrav generators; two 45,000-kW fusion reactors; 216,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell.
