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. With a slight delay, old vehicles appear at http://omeyer.gmxhome.de/GURPSnet_files/summary.html Onno Meyer, 2006-07-24
Six Eyes Nest Warbot v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL12-13) Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer The Hive Federation uses warbots to protect the lives of the Ithklur Marines and Hiver Navy crews. The Six Eyes Nest is at the cutting edge of robot development. This experimental warbot has advanced stealth and armor and the latest robot brain. It is smart enough to make even the Hivers nervous - in the Imperium, the possession would be a capital crime. The sensor arrays and weapons are more normal, with a fusion gun in the body and a loflar ATGM and a small recon drone in an underside bay. Like most Hiver robots, the warbot has a self-destruct charge to prevent any tampering with the electronics. The listed price is used for only maintenance calculations. It would equal 1,394,202 Imperial Credits or 92,947 Hiver biyzihn if the warbot ever became freely available. The robot can recharge one fusion shot every 17 minutes at top speed.
