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

Bulk Transport Mk.IV v1.0 (TL11)
Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer
The Bulk Transport hauls large loads over interstellar distances. She
was designed for external containers, which allow rapid reconfiguration
for different types of cargo, and rapid turnaround in orbit.
The starship is long and slender, with grapples for two rings of four
containers each, plus two containers strapped to the sublight thrusters.
The decks are perpendicular to the axis of thrust, a shuttle hangar and
storage on top, then the bridge, crew cabins, and engineering. She has
room for 40 crew and 60 dependents, which makes these large freighters
popular with older, more experienced spacers.
A full load of ammo and provisions is $4,410,000. It takes 192 hours
to recharge the power cells for one hyperspace entry, and 5.75 seconds
to recharge one railgun shot.
Subassemblies: Body +10.
Powertrain: Three 20,000,000-lb. vectored reactionless thrusters;
300,000-ton hyperdrive; four 800,000-kW fusion reactors;
