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, 2015-02-02
Intelligence Freighter v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2015 by Onno Meyer This starship is obviously an ELINT gathering platform, hiding behind technicalities of interstellar law -- any starship needs communications and sensors, and not every voyage has to turn a profit. The Intelligence Freighter is started her career as an ordinary tramp freighter. The refit added a FTL communicator and a radiation sensor in the forward hold, dorsal and ventral hyperspectral EM arrays, and crew cabins in the passenger section. The rear cargo hold remains available for payload, either to go through the motions of trading or to extend the endurance of the ship. It takes 24 hours to recharge the power cell for one hyperspace entry. A full load of provisions is $90,000. Subassemblies: Body +8. Powertrain: Four 500,000-lb. vectored reactionless thrusters; 10,000-ton hyperdrive; two 80,000-kW fusion reactors; 3,600,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: 10 bridge RCS, 30 cabins. Cargo: 32,000 cf.
