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, 2014-06-16
Dropship Mk.V v1.0 (TL12) Copyright 2014 by Onno Meyer The Mark V transports a squad of battlesuit troops and light vehicles from a starship in the outer system down to the surface of a planet. In less hostile environments, she serves as a fast shuttle. The Dropship has four powerful sublight thrusters. She can reach 10 G in space and Mach 13 in a standard atmosphere. A force screen generator provides protection and stealth at high speed. The cockpit has two crew seats for the pilot and copilot. A small cabin contains two jump seats, two automeds, a galley, and a toilet. The cargo bay is designed for 68 cubic meters and 16 tons, typically 16 battlesuits or 12 suits and one grav sled. It takes 635 minutes to recharge the power cell for one hyperspace entry, and 20 seconds to recharge one pulse of the main x-ray laser. Subassemblies: Body +6. Powertrain: Four 500,000-lb. super reactionless thrusters; 500-ton hyperdrive; four 400,000-lb. contragrav generators; 150,000-kW fusion reactor; 216,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell.
