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, 2015-03-09
Makhidkarun Kian G Speeder v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL13) Copyright 2015 by Onno Meyer Red. Fast. Expensive. Even with a limited production run of just three thousand vehicles -- or perhaps because of it -- the Kian G has captured the popular imagination on the Imperial core worlds. Few owners take the contragrav speeder to the limit, but that is not the point. They know that they could hit Mach 10 if they ever want to, and so do all their neighbors. Subassemblies: Body +3. Powertrain: Four 7,500-lb. ruggedized vectored mega reactionless thrusters; two 5,000-lb. contragrav generators; 1,600-kW ruggedized NPU; 630,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Occ: NCS, NS. Cargo: 5 cf. Armor F RL B T U Body: 4/500 4/500 4/500 4/500 4/500 Equipment: Body: Two medium radios; 2-mile AESA; four 2-mile PESAs; sound system; two transponders; two inertial navigation systems; global positioning system; terrain-following radar; two C7 small computers; terminal; high-security alarm; two 2-man full life systems; two crashwebs; two G-seats.
