Taking Care of Business . . .
Intrepid space traders struggling to make a fortune – or just a living – by carrying freight and passengers between the stars are a staple of science fiction.
GURPS Spaceships 2 provides statistics and descriptions for dozens of interplanetary and interstellar commercial vessels, from tiny shuttlecraft and rugged tramp freighters to the sleek star liners and beautiful luxury yachts of the elite. It includes detailed rules for the expenses incurred acquiring and operating a private spaceship, as well as systems for using commercial vessels to make (or lose!) money in speculative trade, freight hauling, or passenger transport.
This is the second volume in the GURPS Spaceships series by David Pulver (co-author of GURPS Fourth Edition). It requires only the GURPS Basic Set and GURPS Spaceships. GURPS Space is recommended but not required.
