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, 2016-01-25
Escape Capsule Mk.IX v1.0 (TL16) Copyright 2016 by Onno Meyer The Escape Capsule can evacuate one person from a doomed starship. She has a stasis web and a cryotube -- the stasis bubble encloses the Escape Capsule, which makes her both indestructible and unable to maneuver. The computer sets an initial stasis duration during launch, from minutes to months. After that, the computer can fly the Escape Capsule to a nearby world while the passenger stays in conventional cryosleep, or resume stasis. Subassemblies: Body +2.
