[gurps] [VEHICLE] of the week 660 – Sharushid Hypersled Air/Raft

[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. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or 
later the old stuff should reappear at   omeyer.gmxhome.de

Sharushid Hypersled Air/Raft v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10)
  Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer

  The Sharushid Hypersled combines excellent workmanship and the classic 
Solomani lines currently popular on some core worlds. This might prove a 
mistake if the situation on the Rim heats up ...
  The Air/Raft has two comfortable seats in front and two small, folding
seats in the rear. On hospitable worlds the roof can be removed for easy 
access to the rear seats and the luggage. On less friendly worlds or at 
high altitude, the life support provides oxygen for six hours.
