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, 2012-11-19
Deep Space Transport Mk.VI v1.0 (TL13) Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer The Deep Space Transports are small interstellar craft, optimized for work in the outer system, the asteroid belts, or near the Trojan points of a gas giant. This DST services the countless satellites and buoys of an interstellar civilization. The starship consists of a 25' by 25' work platform, with cargo racks and engines mounted underneath, and the crew section in front. The rear section is open to space, but a force screen can create a shirt-sleeve work environment when required. The crew section contains the bridge, a galley nook, two individual cabins, and the reactor. It takes 337 minutes to recharge the power cell for one hyperspace entry. Subassemblies: Body +6, Superstructure +5. Powertrain: Four 12,500-lb. vectored super reactionless thrusters; 500-ton hyperdrive; 20,000-kW fusion reactor; 378,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 2 bridge RCS, 2 cabins. Cargo: 7,480 cf. Armor F RL B T U Body: 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* Superstructure: 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* 4/200* * Plus DR 2,000 force screen. Equipment: Superstructure: Two extreme-range gravity ripple communicators; two 150-mile AESAs; two 25-lightsecond FTL radars; 150-mile multiscanner; two x200 astronomical LLTVs; 30-lightsecond FTL scan detector; 30-lightsecond FTL emergence detector; precision navigation instruments; two transponders; two inertial navigation systems; three C8 hardened minicomputers; two terminals; two neural induction fields; compact fire suppression system; ST 1,000 combination beam; forcelock; FSR 20 impermeable force screen (DR 2,000); three 4-man total life systems; grav unit. External: Radiation shielding (Superstructure); 625 sf flight deck (Body). Statistics Size: 35'x25'x15' Payload: 75 tons Lwt.: 100 tons Volume: 10,000 cf Maint.: 8 man-hours Price: $2,887,575 HT: 9. HPs: 3,750 Body, 1,500 Superstructure sAccel: 0.25 G sMR: 0.25 FTL Speed: 1 parsec per day Design Notes Body is 8,000 cf. Superstructure is 2,000 cf. Structure is medium, standard. Body armor is open-frame, standard metal. Superstructure armor is standard composite. Superstructure is sealed. Computerized controls. 145.85 cf of empty space in the Superstructure. Empty weight is 50,000 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 cargo carrier. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
