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. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or later the old stuff should reappear at omeyer.gmxhome.de Onno Meyer, 2008-12-08
Stealth Sensor Drone v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2008 by Onno Meyer The Stealth Sensor Drone is deployed by orbiting starships to collect data prior to first contact missions. The small robotic craft can enter the atmosphere, cruise at low altitude, and return without detection by most primitive sensors. The wideband EM array and sensitive microphones are used on stealth flights, while active systems are usually reserved for single pings. The drone could mount extra payloads, but it lacks a quick-change modular socket - any modification requires a workshop. The power cell lasts for 100 minutes at full power. Subassemblies: Body +1. Powertrain: 1,000-lb. vectored super reactionless thruster; 450,000-kWs rechargeable power cell.
