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, 2013-06-17
Space Marine Grav Tunneler Mk.II v1.0 (TL13) Copyright 2013 by Onno Meyer The Grav Tunneler is used to dig underground shelters for spacemobile forces. Usually the contragrav flyer is deployed by dropship, but it is capable of orbital flight. The energy drill can dig through 150 feet of hard rock per hour, more in light rock or sand. The fused stone stabilizes the tunnel walls, but permanent bases should be reinforced and sealed. The Grav Tunneler has seats for one operator and one backup crewman or passenger -- changing crews deep underground can be difficult. 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; two 20-mile AESAs, LPI; two 20-mile PESAs; 20-mile multiscanner; 10-mile ultrascanner; 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); 100 cf/minute super bore; 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. Volume: 500 cf Maint.: 5 man-hours Price: $902,325 HT: 13. HPs: 600 Body aSpeed: 1,935 aAccel: 80 aDecel: 20 aMR: 5 aSR: 3 sAccel: 4 G sMR: 4 Design Notes Body is 500 cf, with underbelly skids, very good streamlining, and lifting body. Structure is medium, expensive. Armor is expensive laminate. Sealed. Computerized controls. 39 cf of empty space. Empty weight is 9,600 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, July 2010 errata], Robots, VXi, and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite.
