[gurps] Starship Troopers, open questions

[Onno Meyer]

Unless there is a typo in my spreadsheet, I think I have the bones
of a suit. I'll try to turn it into a basic marauder unit.

Is there any evidence for stealth or IR cloaking? I don't recall any,
and Heinlein makes a point how the suits track each other by radar.

A 200-lb. trooper and 10 gallons of water as reaction mass are 285
lbs. 

I'll probably GURPSify the Y-Rack Launcher as two separate EMGLs
with a shared magazine. 

* A 240-kJ flamer with a D cell is 15 lbs., just right for a sidearm. 
* A reloadable launcher for 20-lb. missiles is 20 lbs., for a total of
  100 lbs. with four rounds. But what kind of homing? He lets it have 
  a look at the target, which could be literally OH. Alternatively a 
  bigger flamer could be carried. 
* 250 40mm HE grenades for the Y-Rack are 80 lbs.
* Leave a few dozen pounds for specialty grenades.

That brings me to about 220 lbs. of ammo and some 500 lbs. total 
load. The empty suit can be 1,500 lbs. 

Does that fit?
