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, 2013-05-06
Medium Powered Armor Mk.VI v1.0 (TL13) Copyright 2013 by Onno Meyer With powered armor, spacemobile forces can operate on a wide range of planets. Medium Powered Armor combines a powerful exoskeleton, a flight pack, armor, stealth, electronics, and life support. The operator enters the Mk.VI through a hatch in the rear. It takes a few seconds to start all systems and to seal the armor. The sensors and fire control in the helmet can be linked to handheld weaponry, usually an x-ray laser or a 6mm grav rifle. For assault missions, a fusion gun or a grav tribarrel may be carried instead. The radiothermal generator provides enough power for ground movement, and the power cells last for 20 hours of flight. Subassemblies: Body +0, two Legs -1, two Arms -2, limited-rotation Turret -2. Powertrain: 2-kW leg drivetrain; two 125-lb. vectored super reactionless thrusters; 4,000-lb. contragrav generator; 2.5-kW RTG; two 630,000-kWs rechargeable power cells.
