[gurps] [VEHICLE] of the week 655 – Exhibit SM/1120/13126476 aka Spyeye-2

[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

Exhibit SM/1120/13126476 aka Spyeye-2 v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10)
  Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer

  Exhibit 13126476 is based on the 1:64 scale model of a Sulieman-class 
Scout/Courier. The model starship mounts a genuine starship maneuvering 
thruster and a small electronics package, including a thermal imager, a 
GPS, a radio and a control computer. Exhibit 13126476 still falls short 
of a professional Instellarms or Naasirka RPV, but it does a credible 
job for a jury-rigged drone.
  The battery lasts for 33 minutes or a delta-V of 48 mps.

Powertrain: 24-lbs. vectored reactionless thruster; 2,400-kWs advanced
