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, 2012-07-02
Light Transport Mk.VII v1.0 (TL14) Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer The Light Transport carries a couple of interstellar merchants to the stars, to profit and adventure. The Mark VII has an internal cargo hold for 50 tons, and tractors to carry oversized external loads. The hull is a disc with a bubble canopy over the cockpit. The tractor beam projectors are mounted on the forward rim, and the force field can extend up to ten yards to protect the external load during reentry. The ship has two cabins for a pilot and a mechanic, or perhaps four crew if they double up. The listed performance uses only internal loads. It takes 6.6 hours to recharge the power cell for one hyperspace entry. Subassemblies: Body +7. Powertrain: Four 200,000-lb. super reactionless thrusters; 1,200-ton hyperdrive; two 800,000-lb. contragrav generators; two 40,000-kW total conversion reactors; 432,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 2 bridge RCS, 2 cabins. Cargo: 5,160 cf. Armor F RL B T U Body: 4/100* 4/100* 4/100* 4/100* 4/100* * Plus DR 3,750 force screen.
