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, 2014-02-10
Boarding Shuttle v1.0 (TL12) Copyright 2014 by Onno Meyer This fast sublight craft carries boarding teams to incoming starships and suspicious insystem traffic. The Boarding Shuttle has powerful quad thrusters and a tractor beam to capture her prey. The forward section contains the troop bay and the docking hatch with a pressure-tight forcefield. Two plasma torches are mounted just inside the hatch to cut through airlocks or bulkheads. The flight deck for the pilot and the copilot is in the center, entirely reliant on sensors for vision, and engineering spaces take the rear. The Boarding Shuttle is armed with a small blaster cannon. It takes four seconds to recharge one shot. Subassemblies: Body +5. Powertrain: Four 120,000-lb. super reactionless thrusters; two 120,000-lb. contragrav generators; 40,000-kW fusion reactor; 5,400,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 2 RCS, 10 RS.
