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, 2013-06-10
Space Marine Grav Tractor Mk.II v1.0 (TL13) Copyright 2013 by Onno Meyer The Grav Tractor mounts a combination tractor/pressor beam for cargo handling. Usually the contragrav flyer is deployed by dropship, but it is capable of orbital flight. The cockpit has room for one operator, who runs both the tractor beam and the flight controls, and one passenger on a jump seat. The beam can lift 15 tons at a range of 400 yards. In addition to starport logistics, the Grav Tractor is used by combat engineering units, but the lack of a point defense system makes this risky. Subassemblies: Body +4. Powertrain: Two 20,000-lb. vectored mega reactionless thrusters; four 50,000-lb. contragrav generators; 4,000-kW super MHD fusion reactor; 630,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 1 RCS, 1 folding CS. Armor F RL B T U Body: 4/125* 4/125* 4/125* 4/125* 4/125* * Plus DR 500 force screen. Equipment: Body: Medium-range neutrino communicator with scrambler; two long-range gravity ripple communicators with scramblers; 1-mile searchlight; two 20-mile AESAs, LPI; two 20-mile PESAs; 20-mile multiscanner; precision navigation instruments; two IFF; two inertial navigation systems; two terrain-following radars; two advanced radar/laser detectors; deceptive jammer, rating 5; three C8 hardened minicomputers; terminal; neural induction field; full fire suppression system; cyberswarm hive (gravflyer, solar AA cell, repair swarm); ST 1,500 combination beam; forcelock; FSR 5 heavy-duty, stealth screen (DR 500); two 2-man full life systems; crashweb; gravity web. External: Basic emission cloaking, basic sound baffling; basic stealth; radiation shielding. Statistics Size: 12'x7'x7' Payload: 400 lbs. Lwt.: 10,000 lbs.
