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, 2012-10-22
Fast Courier Mk.IX v1.0 (TL16) Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer The Fast Courier carries a few people and a few boxes of cargo to the stars. She can reach 19,000 c in hyperspace, and her teleport projector covers the last ten thousand miles to the destination. The rectangular hull has two decks. The upper deck contains two seats for the pilot and astrogator, six bunks, and the teleport platform. The cargo is stowed in two lockers. The lower deck contains the engines and the energy systems. For atmospheric operations, the unstreamlined ship is covered by an aerodynamic force screen. It takes 9 hours to recharge the power cell for a hyperspace entry. Subassemblies: Body +5. Powertrain: Four 150,000-lb. mega reactionless thrusters; 2,400-ton hyperdrive; two 150,000-lb. contragrav generators; 60,000-kW cosmic power plant; 60-kW cosmic power plant; 864,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 2 bridge RCS, 6 bunks. Cargo: 60 cf. Armor F RL B T U Body: 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* * Plus DR 2,500 force screen. Equipment: Body: Two extreme-range gravity ripple communicators; two 150-mile AESAs; two 150-lightsecond FTL radars; two 150-mile PESAs; 150-mile multiscanner; two x200 astronomical LLTVs; 15-lightsecond FTL scan detector; 15-lightsecond FTL emergence detector; navigation instruments; two transponders; three inertial navigation systems; three C10 hardened, small computers; two terminals; two neural induction fields; compact fire suppression system; forcelock; 1-hex teleport projector; FSR 10 shaped screen generator (DR 2,500); two 8-man total life systems; grav unit; grav compensator. External: Radiation shielding. Statistics Size: 12'x12'x24' Payload: 1.2 tons Lwt.: 30 tons Volume: 3,000 cf Maint.: 16 man-hours Price: $11,732,550 HT: 13.
