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, 2014-04-28
Battlesuit Command Truck v1.0 (TL8) Copyright 2014 by Onno Meyer This light truck coordinates a platoon of nine battlesuits or a police SWAT team. The command team monitors the suit status and tactical sensor data. The driver and the platoon commander sit in front. Four more seats are in the rear, facing sideways. One of them has an UAV control system, the other three are computer/communications workstations to watch over three suits each. The Command Truck mounts a telescoping mast with a ladar, a hyperspectral imager, and an array of microphones. The electronics make the truck rather cramped, but there are stowage lockers under the seats. The multifuel engine burns 5.4 gallons per hour. A full tank of diesel is $60.
