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, 2016-06-20
Sleeper Ship Mk.I v1.0 (TL9) Copyright 2016 by Onno Meyer The Sleeper Ship carries one hundred people to the outer system or the cometary cloud. Even with a delta-V of 673 kps, her flight can take many decades -- the passengers and crew stay in cryosleep to reduce the life support requirements. Routine maintenance is provided by microbots. The flight crew has four cryonic capsules on the bridge. The other capsules are mounted in four compartments with 24 sleepers each. A central shaft leads forward to the airlock and aft to the engines and fuel bunkers. The fusion drive uses 240 lbs. of fuel pellets per hour. A full load of pellets is $2,250,000. Subassemblies: Body +8. Powertrain: 2,000-lb. fusion pulse drive; three 200-kW fusion reactors; 480,000-kWs advanced batteries. Fuel: 1,800,000 lbs. fuel pellets. Occ: 4 bridge RCS, 4 bunks.

Computerized controls. 3,236.3 cf of empty space. Empty weight is 200,000 lbs. (including the cryo-sleepers and 5,000 lbs. of personal luggage). The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, July 2010 errata], Robots, VXi, and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite.
