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, 2016-02-08
Corsair Fighter v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2016 by Onno Meyer The Corsair Fighter was built to run down unarmed merchanters and to cover planetside raiding parties. She has two forward-firing grav guns, a rear minigun, and two missile bays. The cockpit has tandem seats for the pilot and the tail gunner. A common variant carries two passengers instead of the gunner, but the Corsair Fighter is not really suitable for the assault role. A full load of gravgun ammunition is $59,040.
