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, 2012-08-13
Bulk Transport Mk.VI v1.0 (TL13) Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer The Bulk Transport hauls large loads over interstellar distances. The Mark VI uses tractor beams to secure containers within the force screen envelope, for maximum flexibility and rapid turnarounds. The forward section of the starship contains the bridge and a shuttle hangar. The crew quarters and the hyperdrive are in the middle, and the engines and power plants are in the rear. The tractor beam emitters are arranged in two complete rings of sixteen and a half ring of eight, to allow access to the hangar and vision from the bridge. It takes 46 hours to recharge the power cells for one hyperspace entry. Subassemblies: Body +10. Powertrain: Six 10,000,000-lb. super reactionless thrusters; 450,000-ton hyperdrive; four 150,000,000-lb. contragrav generators; four 2,000,000-kW fusion reactors; 163,800,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 20 bridge RCS, 100 luxury cabins. Cargo: 19,000 cf. Armor F RL B T U Body: 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* * Plus DR 2,000 force screen.

External: Radiation shielding. Statistics Size: 480'x50'x50' Payload: 20,400 tons Lwt.: 30,000 tons Volume: 1,000,000 cf Maint.: 141 man-hours Price: $859,925,250 HT: 6. HPs: 360,000 Body sAccel: 1 G sMR: 1 FTL Speed: 3 parsec per day Design Notes Body is 1,000,000 cf. Structure is extra-heavy, cheap. Armor is cheap metal. Sealed. Computerized controls with quadruple maneuver controls. 219,768 cf of empty space. Empty weight is 19,200,000 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, July 2010 errata] and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite. 120,000-Gallon Bulk Liquid Container v1.0 (TL13) Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer Large containers help interstellar craft to reduce the time they spend in orbit. This one holds 455 cubic meters of liquid cargo, often organic compounds or unrefined hydrocarbons. Many liquids are relatively dense, so the Bulk Liquid Container is shorter than other cargo containers. Subassemblies: Body +7.

Structure is medium, standard. Armor is standard composite. Sealed. 1,987.5 cf of empty space. Empty weight is 40,000 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, July 2010 errata] and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite. Next Week: A TL14 ship with a large docking bay. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
