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, 2014-04-21
Battlesuit Transport Truck v1.0 (TL8) Copyright 2014 by Onno Meyer This utility truck carries a single battlesuit into action. A powerful turbocharged engine and the police lightbar allow a rapid deployment. The battlesuit is carried on a tray in the rear of the truck. There is enough room to suit up in the vehicle, but usually the battlesuit slides out first and the operator climbs in afterwards, with the assistance of the truck driver/mechanic. The cab is rather cramped, with mil-spec communications and navigation gear in the center console. The truck is amphibious and sealed against hostile environments. The multifuel engine burns 5.4 gallons per hour. A full tank of diesel is $60. Subassemblies: Body +3, four Off-Road Wheels +1. Powertrain: 180-kW all-wheel drivetrain; 60-kW hydrojet; 180-kW turbocharged ceramic engine; 20,000-kWs advanced battery. Fuel: 50 gallons diesel (fire on 6). Occ: CCS, CS. Cargo: 25 cf.
