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, 2009-04-06
Catamaran Ferry v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2009 by Onno Meyer The Catamaran Ferry links floating settlements on water worlds. Built for speed, she can carry commuters on short distances or passengers and cargo on long distances to a central starport. The main deck contains the cargo bay with forward and rear ramps, and comfortable seats for the passengers. Crew cabins are lower in the twin hulls, along with the engines and a closed recycling system. The bridge on the top deck has four computerized, aircraft-style workstations. On calm days, one helmsman can operate all systems, but a normal crew has about twenty sailors in three shifts, from the captain down to deck hands for cargo handling. Subassemblies: Body +8. Powertrain: Two 15,000-kW hydrojets; 32,000-kW fusion reactor; six 360,000-kWs rechargeable power cells. Occ: 4 RCS, 10 cabins, 80 RS.
