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, 2014-12-15
Aerospace Trainer Mk.VII v1.0 (TL14) Copyright 2014 by Onno Meyer The Aerospace Trainer is used for the initial training of shuttle and starship pilots. The small craft is capable of surface to orbit flights, orbital maneuvering, and reentry. The Mark VII returns to a tandem cockpit configuration in a hypersonic airframe. Her twin sublight thrusters provide 12 G in space and Mach 5.7 in a standard atmosphere. The grav webs compensate for up to 8 G, so she is fully aerobatic. Subassemblies: Body +2, two High Agility Wings -1. Powertrain: Two 12,000-lb. mega reactionless thrusters; two 4,000-lb. contragrav generators; 1,500-kW total conversion reactor; 720,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 2 CCS. Cargo: 5 cf. Armor F RL B T U All: 4/100* 4/100* 4/100* 4/100* 4/100* * Plus DR 750 force screen. Equipment: Body: Two long-range gravity ripple communicators; 25-lightsecond FTL radar; two 8-mile PESAs; 10-mile multiscanner; two sets of navigation instruments; two transponders; inertial navigation system; two global positioning systems; four C8 hardened small computers; two terminals; two neural induction fields; forcelock; FSR 5 force screen generator (DR 750); 2-man full life system; two G-seats; two gravity webs. External: Radiation shielding. Statistics Size: 15'x9'x5' Payload: 500 lbs. Lwt.: 2,000 lbs. Volume: 100 cf Maint.: 24 hours Price: $718,160 HT: 14. HPs: 225 Body, 30 each Wing. aSpeed: 4,355 aAccel: 240 aDecel: 58 aMR: 14.5 aSR: 5 sAccel: 12 G sMR: 12 Design Notes Body is 96 cf, with excellent streamlining and underbelly skids. Wings are 2 cf each. Structure is medium, standard. Armor is standard metal. Sealed. Computerized controls with duplicate maneuver controls. 10.88 cf of empty space in the Body and 1.8 cf in each Wing. Empty weight is 1,500 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, July 2010 errata], VXi, and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite. Next Week: A Mach 12 trainer at TL15. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
