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, 2013-11-25
Star Liner Mk.VIII v1.0 (TL15) 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 Mark VIII has room for about 900 passengers and 100 crew, assisted by scores of service robots. More than half of the hull is filled by the powerful hyperdrive and the energy systems, but the passengers and crew enjoy individual cabins. The dining and entertainment areas are fitted with reprogrammable forcefield/holographic/gravitic systems -- the grand ballroom can easily become a sunny beach or a nightclub. The starship can reach reach Mach 25 in a standard atmosphere, ten G in space, and 17,800 c in hyperspace. It takes 14 hours to recharge the the power cell for one hyperspace entry.
