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, 2013-10-28

Business travelers and tourists, celebrities and colonists, all can be found on these glittering starships. The Mk.IV has room for 800 passengers and 200 flight and service crew on eight decks.
