It's been a busy week as far as designs go, so I figured I might as well
upload a few more today. Rumor has it that these will soon be available on ftp
for those with that capability.

Grav Bike TL13
The grav bike is a popular recreational and very light transport vehicle
at appropriate tech levels. This example includes a fairing to reduce the
wind resistance of the rider, and a fair amount of enclosed cargo space
(enough for a couple of suitcases.)

NOTE: After doing this one I noticed that the smallest standard grav unit you
are allowed to build has a one ton thrusts, making this an illegal design.
However, as it is two tech levels above the introduction of grav units, perhaps
they have discovered how to miniaturize them a bit.
Bumblebee Light Air Raft TL11
The Bumblebee is a light air raft intended for use on planets where
hydrocarbon fuels are inexpensive and readily obtainable. In such situations
the turbine engine is more cost effective than either fusion power or fuel
cells. There are no significant differences between the TL11 version shown
here, and the TL10 version.

Brumby Enclosed Air Raft TL11
The Brumby is a high speed grav vehicle built to IISS specifications,
and frequently used as an auxiliary vessel aboard lower TL Type S scouts.

Type S Scout/Courier TL11
The TL11 Scout Courier is the first to mount thrusters for deep space
propulsion, and has a sensor package that includes a neutrino sensor and a
densitometer. A full envrionmental suite is carried, but as with any Type S,
true comfort is difficult to obtain in such a cramped situation. The cost
given below does not include an auxiliary vehicle, but provision for carrying
soemthing in the 4 ton class is made (typically a Brumby or other similarly
sized air raft.) An onboard fuel purifier gives the vessel the capability
for extended wilderness missions.
