Subject: [gurps] [VEHICLE] of the week 929 - Bulk Transport Mk.VI and
Bulk Liquid Container
Bulk Transport Mk.VI v1.0 (TL13)
Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer
Occ: 20 bridge RCS, 100 luxury cabins. Cargo: 19,000 cf.
Nice! Quite the luxury cargo ship!
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.
Armor F RL B T U
Body: 4/20 4/20 4/20 4/20 4/20
Equipment:
Body: Six 20,000-gallon light tanks. External: Radiation shielding.
Statistics
Size: 50'x20'x20' Payload: 480 tons Lwt.: 500 tons
Volume: 20,000 cf Maint.: 6 man-hours Price: $1,537,500
HT: 7. HPs: 7,500 Body
Design Notes
Body is 20,000 cf. 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.
Have you considered Self-Sealing on the tanks (p. 88) or the body?
that would make a lot of business sense against collisions, stray
meterorites, and combat damage. This would also permit the container(s)
to be left "outside" for a time...
