Hey Onno, I kind of like this design. I could see some of my players deciding this could be a good idea 87)
Unless I am misinterpreting the rocket lift time I would recommend maybe tweaking it to include a forth rocket with about 2/3 the lift of the main lift rocket. So the "pilot" or perhaps "payload" in this case is around a 150 lb person with 50 lbs of equipment and armor - that means roughly 1G of upward accel for 20 seconds (about 600 feet/200 meters) followed by another 20 seconds of 1G downward accel (about 600 feet/200 meters). That kind of hurts at the end of flight if you aren't going up a very tall cliff. A second lift rocket insufficient to completely lift the pilot would greatly soften that landing. Now figuring out where to get the fuel/weight would be the hard part of this alteration. This design just screams kinetic kill missile (to bad the one getting killed is probably the payload)!

The Rocket Flight Pack is a wood and leather frame with one black powder rocket for lift and two rockets for forward propulsion. During the 20 seconds of (powered) flight, the system can reach over 1,000 feet. .... _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
