[Onno Meyer]

  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

LSP Quartermaster III v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10)
  Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer

  The Quartermaster III is a g-carrier with a small enclosed cab and an 
open cargo bed. This limits the utility as a starship subcraft, but the 
Quartermaster is useful when it comes to oversized loads.
  The cab holds seats for the driver and the cargomaster. The vision to 
the rear is limited, but a radar altimeter and a camera array help with 
maneuvering. The engines - twin thrusters, twin contragrav units and a 
NPU - are mounted under the 14' by 8' flatbed. The rear cargo ramp can 
be lowered to expand the cargo bed another 4' if the cargo is properly 
secured.

Powertrain: Two 4,800-lb. vectored standard reactionless thrusters; two 
  40,000-lb. contragrav units; 600-kW NPU; three 360,000-kWs rE power 
  cells.
