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, 2015-07-06
Bilstein Yards Wind 200-ton Grav Yacht v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL12) Copyright 2015 by Onno Meyer Large grav yachts like the Bilstein Yards Wind are a status symbol for the rich and famous. Each yacht is designed for the planetary conditions at the destination and the tastes of the owner. The forward section of the yacht is used for business -- a conference room, a formal dining room, guest quarters, and an air/raft hangar. The rear has suites for the owner and close friends, a bar with dance floor, and even a pool with a transparent bottom; conspicuous consumption on a dry world. Subassemblies: Body +8.
