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, 2009-10-26
General Products CG08 Grav Excavator v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10) Copyright 2009 by Onno Meyer The CG08 is a common sight on the advanced worlds of the Imperium. The flying construction vehicle can not just turn on a dime, it can also get back out of any hole it has dug for itself. The hydraulic power shovel, rated for some 300 cf and eight tons under Earth standard conditions, is mounted below the narrow hull. The cockpit has good visibility to both sides and the front, and enough room for the single operator. For landing, the shovel folds upwards against the nose. The Grav Excavator is powered by an isotope battery in the rear. Subassemblies: Body +4.
