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, 2009-09-21
SpinDevCorp SeaBus Medium DSV v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL7) Copyright 2009 by Onno Meyer The SeaBus Deep Submergence Vehicle is used on many frontier worlds in the Spinward Marches. Usually SeaBusses are assembled from imported kits including the isotope battery and the titanium hull. The DSV has a two seats for the helmsman and navigator and two benches for eight passengers. Cargo is stowed under those benches and in lockers next to the airlock. The rear of the DSV contains the power systems and the life support.
