In recent years I got the GURPS Traveller supplement dedicated to this vessel.  One of the better GURPS Traveller books, it is chock full of plans for cutters, cutter modules for every application and jump shuttles for moving modules from star system to star system.

First off, plan views of the modular cutter showing the vessel with and without a module attached.

    Hi – Brook West here. I don’t mind your using my crewman for scale, but I would appreciate an acknowledgement.

    Thanks – Brook

    I think that a lot of the older plans could do with a re-work. We were all a bit LBB back in the old days.

    Brian, if the crewman stands about six feet tall, that would make the cutter about 90 feet long and about 24 feet wide/tall, right? if so, I prefer your beefier cutter to the standard.

      I guess so. To be honest I never cared too much about how these fit with the trad designs. They work for me – and it seems for many others. I have seen many of my deckplans being used on Roll20/Foundry games people have posted on line. Someone said I should sell them on Drivethru but I see this as my way of giving back after pillaging other people’s art for decades. Thank you very much for commenting.
