I made a 30+g grav vehicle once, but I forget which rules I used. Might've been Striker.
More of a missile than a car, really, and you'd probably need a spatula to get the crew out...

Anybody got any ideas on Claire's mounted laser plan? I'd be interested in that. If I remember correctly, its possible to mount vehicle class weapons this way in almost all of the Traveller starship design systems, but I don't recall seeing a facility for ship scale weapons to be done this way.

tis not ship scale weapons, i've mounted a pair of 25MW laser guns. they get a UCP of '+', not much use via the UCP system, but not all that bad via the normal system v armour of '40', well if ya get a HIGH PEN result anyway.
i tend to mount a couple of guns on most ships like this, anti-personael things mostyl, here the main weapons battery.
I'd go for a battery scale weapon mounted ala fixed forward arc, actually i don't see the problem with doing it. not see it written anywhere the only difficulty is the size of the weapon. i tend to assume 50% of turret volume.
Essentially a tripple laser turret ISN'T three lasers in aturret, but one tripple power laser. thus still works out at 50% volume no matter what. the other 50% is the turret itself.

in theory of course this is open to abuse, but just try manouvering a 20,000 ton hull to aim them though

I wonder why there's no 50MW TL13 beam or pulse lasers?

there is but its TL 8
the TL 13 version is better for less power requirement
TL Pwr Vol Mass $ Pen Dmg CP
8 50 3.3 3.3 100k 47/4 50 8
13 25 1.7 1.7 100k 49/4 60 13
only real downside is the CP requirements of the TL13 version, and thats pretty minor
figure if ya need more power its a fusion gun, or designing ya own weapons, and then the trouble is balancing the cost

The TL8 50MW laser is pen 55/4, dmg 100.

ahh another bit of errata i guess. just going by the MT refs book
