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, 2012-11-26
Deep Space Transport Mk.VII v1.0 (TL14) 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. The Mk.VII is a freighter with two crew and some sixty tons of cargo. The ship consists of a crew section forward, an engine section in the rear, and a connecting spine. The cargo is clamped to the open frame of the spine, and secured by the force screen. The spherical crew section contains two cabins and the bridge, which also serves as a common room and galley. The cylindrical engine section contains the power systems, the sublight thrusters, the hyperdrive, and a maintenance workshop. It takes 19 hours to recharge the power cell for one hyperspace entry. Subassemblies: Body +6, Superstructure +5, Pod +5. Powertrain: Five 10,000-lb. vectored reactionless thrusters; 1,000-ton hyperdrive; two 10,000-kW total conversion reactors; 360,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 2 bridge RCS Superstructure, 2 cabins Superstructure. Cargo: 5,980 cf. Armor F RL B T U Body: 4/500* 4/500* 4/500* 4/500* 4/500* Superstructure: 4/500* 4/500* 4/500* 4/500* 4/500* Pod: 4/500* 4/500* 4/500* 4/500* 4/500* * plus DR 600 force screen. Equipment: Superstructure: Two extreme-range gravity ripple communicators; two 150-mile AESAs; two 150-lightsecond FTL radars; 750-mile radscanner; two x1,000 astronomical LLTVs; 50-mile ultrascanner; 30-lightsecond FTL scan detector; 30-lightsecond FTL emergence detector; precision navigation instruments; two IFF; two inertial navigation systems; three C9 hardened minicomputers; two terminals; two neural induction fields; full fire suppression system; forcelock; two 4-man total life systems. Pod: Two terminals; full fire suppression system; engineering workshop; forcelock; FSR 40 shaped force screen (reduced DR 600); 4-man total life system; grav unit. External: Radiation shielding (Superstructure); radiation shielding (Pod). Statistics Size: 100'x16'x16' Payload: 60 tons Lwt.: 100 tons Volume: 10,000 cf Maint.: 9 man-hours Price: $3,135,450 HT: 7. HPs: 1,500 Body, 750 Superstructure, 750 Pod sAccel: 0.25 G sMR: 0.25 FTL Speed: 2 parsec per day Design Notes Body is 6,000 cf. Superstructure is 2,000 cf. Pod is 2,000 cf. Structure is light, standard. Body armor is open-frame, standard metal. Superstructure and Pod armor are standard composite. Superstructure and Pod are sealed. Computerized controls with duplicate maneuver controls. 627.6 cf of empty space in the Superstructure and 1,040 cf of empty space in the Pod. Empty weight is 80,000 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.
