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, 2012-12-03
Deep Space Transport Mk.VIII v1.0 (TL15) 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.VIII is a cargo variant, with room for about 80 tons of payload and just two to four crew. The starship consists of five sections. Four of them are cargo holds, arranged around the crew and engine core. The core section has a small cabin in front, then the bridge, another cabin, and the engine room. A forcefield airlock leads from the bridge to a platform between two of the cargo sections, where the crew can store tools for EVA. It takes 85 minutes to recharge the the power cell for one hyperspace entry. Subassemblies: Body +5, four Pods +5. Powertrain: Four 12,500-lb. vectored super reactionless thrusters; 600-ton hyperdrive; two 25,000-kW total conversion reactors; 243,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 2 bridge RCS, 2 cabins.
