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, 2016-07-18
Sleeper Ship Mk.V v1.0 (TL12) Copyright 2016 by Onno Meyer The Mark V is a starship with ten cryosleep capsules. She was designed as a low cost, long range interstellar transport, but the model is often used by people who want to ride out an (imagined or real) apocalypse in orbit around some nameless dwarf star. Usually the computers wake the flight crew a day before the hyperspace emergence. The Sleeper Ship has a cabin with two beds and a tiny cockpit in the nose. A short corridor leads aft to the cyronic capsules and the cargo lockers. The rear section contains the engines and reactor. It takes 4 hours to recharge the power cell for a hyperspace entry if the Sleeper Ship is drifting, or 22 days at full thrust. Subassemblies: Body +5. Powertrain: Three 50,000-lb. super reactionless thrusters; 300-ton hyperdrive; two 120,000-lb. contragrav generators; 9,000-kW fusion reactor; 108,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell.
