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, 2013-11-18
Star Liner Mk.VII v1.0 (TL14) 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 fast starships. The Liner is optimized for short routes of half a dozen parsecs or so. She has six 160-seat passenger cabins on the main deck, each with a row of toilets and a galley, and two bars on the upper deck. The usual crew consists of a pilot, a copilot, an astrogator, and two engineers. There are jump seats for a relief crew and a bunkroom for long flights, but the cabin crew (and the passengers) would soon feel the strain. It takes 8 hours to recharge the hyperdrive power cells on the ground or in orbit. In flight, it would take 65 hours. Subassemblies: Body +10, twenty Retractable Wheels +5. Powertrain: Four 40,000,000-lb. mega reactionless thrusters; 800,000-ton hyperdrive; four 40,000,000-lb. contragrav generators; two 5,000,000-kW total conversion reactors; 288,000,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 10 bridge RCS, 990 RS with improved access, 10 bunks. Cargo: 30,000 cf. Armor F RL B T U Body: 4/1,000* 4/1,000* 4/1,000* 4/1,000* 4/1,000* Wheels: 4/480* 4/480* 4/480* 4/480* 4/480* * Plus DR 15,000 force screen. Equipment: Body: Four extreme-range gravity ripple communicators; short-range FTL communicator; two 36,000-mile radars; two 36,000-lightsecond FTL radars; two 18,000-mile thermographs; two 36,000-mile multiscanners; two 900-lightsecond FTL scan detectors; two 900-lightsecond FTL emergence detectors; four x200 astronomical LLTVs; two sets of precision navigation instruments; two transponders; three inertial navigation systems; four C11 hardened mainframes; ten terminals; ten neural induction fields; ten full fire suppression systems; four automeds; two 50-man bars; twenty forcelocks; FSR 100 force screen generator (simple shaped, DR 15,000); six 1,000-man total life systems; six galleys; 40 roomy toilets; 37 grav units; ten grav compensators.

Wheels are 50,000 cf, retract into Body. Structure is extra-heavy, standard. Armor is standard composite. Sealed. Computerized controls with duplicate maneuver controls. 4,936.05 cf of empty space. Empty weight is 19,200,000 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, July 2010 errata], Vxi, and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite. Next Week: Just a little bit slower, and much more comfort at TL 15. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
