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, 2013-10-07
Deep Space Patrol Craft v1.0 (TL9) Copyright 2013 by Onno Meyer This spacecraft was designed for a setting where interplanetary travel is starting to become routine. The increasing value of the space economy could prompt Earth nations to assert their power in space. The main role of the Patrol Craft is search and rescue, but she is armed. The Deep Space Patrol Craft has a long, cylindrical hull without spin gravity sections. The ablative nose cone contains the main sensor array and a frequency-agile laser. The next section holds the cockpit and the crew cabins, followed by the airlock, equipment lockers, and a repair workshop. The rear contains the engine, power plant, and reaction mass tanks. The crew of a Patrol Craft has to expect the unexpected, from routine inspections to murderous hijackers, from shipwrecked belters to medical emergencies. Or they become an iron fist from Earth to keep the belters in line. It takes 16 seconds to recharge one laser shot. The fusion rocket uses 800 gallons of reaction mass per hour. Subassemblies: Body +6. Powertrain: 40,000-lb. vectored fusion rocket; 5,000-kW fusion reactor; 2,880,000-kWs advanced batteries. Fuel: 12,000 gallons water. Occ: 4 bridge RCS, 4 cabins.
