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, 2015-11-30
Escape Capsule Mk.I v1.0 (TL9) Copyright 2015 by Onno Meyer The Escape Capsule can evacuate one person from a doomed starship. She has a cryotube, a radio beacon, and an isotope battery for more than ten years.

The fusion engine of the Mark I has enough reaction mass for a delta-V of 43 kps. The engine uses 4.5 gallons of water per hour. Subassemblies: Body +2. Powertrain: 225-lb. fusion rocket; 0.6-kW RTG.
