When I was thinking about the 3eTL13 Hephaestus' Forge nano-factory ships, I decided that the *cabins* could double as lifeboats. The ordinary two bunks(and a toilet closet), plus another 8 survival cocoons stored, gravity ripple comm, radio comm, shapable deflector screen(to provide "wings"), mega-thruster, 5-year mini fusion power; but no FTL. Since the cabins already had desktop nano-facs built in (with a good source of needed elephants) total life-support is covered. Boredom covered by neural-interface dreamgames. -- Troy Guffey ICQ pager: http://www.icq.com/people/1978644/ AIM: Pax214 Y!: troyguffey LiveJournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/troyguffey/ PGP key ID: 0xDCCDF22D -O=O- Sent via Gmail Webmail _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
