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, 2015-02-16
Myrmecoleon-class Meson Gun Train v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL12) Copyright 2015 by Onno Meyer The role and firepower of this armored train falls between contragrav sleds like the Terrapin and buried deep meson sites. The train can move to avoid orbital bombardment, hide in railway tunnels, and draw on the planetary power grid. The articulated maglev train consists of five sections. The front and rear sections hold the cabs and the fusion reactors. The second section contains the communications and fire control center. The third section mounts the meson gun. The fourth section has quarters for the crew and security troops. Each section has an airlock and a VRFGG mount on each side. Usually the train operates on external power. It has power cells for 69 shots, recharged at a rate of six shots per hour. The internal power plants allow three shots per minute, but the sensor signature increases significantly. A full load of VRFGG ammunition is $26,000. Subassemblies: Body +8. Powertrain: Ten 600,000-lb. maglev lifters; two 500,000-kW fusion reactors; two 32,000-kW contact power receivers; 2,560 540,000-kWs rechargeable power cells. Occ: 40 bridge RCS, 60 CS, 30 bunks.
