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, 2013-11-11
Star Liner Mk.VI v1.0 (TL13) Copyright 2013 by Onno Meyer The Star Liner connects the inhabited worlds of the galaxy. Business travelers and tourists, celebrities and colonists, all can be found on these glittering starships. The boxy hull of the Mk.VI has ten decks. The passengers live on the four upper decks, with 600 first class cabins, 200 second class cabins, and a variety of bars, restaurants, and theaters. Some of the smaller halls have programmable holographic/forcefield environments. The lower decks contain the engines, shuttle hangars, and cargo bays. The starship has a sublight acceleration of 5 G and a hyperspeed of 14,000 c. She is capable of atmospheric flight, but she usually stays in orbit to avoid massive sonic booms. It takes 99 hours to recharge the the power cell for one hyperspace entry. Subassemblies: Body +11.
