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

Corsair Transport v1.0 (TL11)
Copyright 2016 by Onno Meyer
Transports are among the most important ships in a corsair fleet. They
take the loot to planets where it can be fenced and return with supplies
for the fighting ships.
The Corsair Transport is rated for 400 tons of general cargo, 75 tons
of food, and 160 prisoners or more, depending on the length of the trip.
The crew consists of twenty technicians and twenty troops. The starship
is capable of surface landings and supersonic atmospheric flights.
It takes 26 hours to recharge the power cell for one hyperspace entry.
The provisions and ammunition are $628,125.
