Re: GURPS Starships line errata (and some observations)
Spaceships 5
Komarov-class
Is noted as "This is a compact, single-stage-to-orbit vehicle using anti-
matter rocket engines to achieve high performance. This permits landing and takeoff from high-G worlds. It is designed to glide in for a landing from orbit, but it can operate from a vertical position"
But its ability to operate in high-G worlds is severely limited by the low acceleration and D-v.
It can only take off or land on planets with more than the 0.6g if they have atmosphere. Further the d-V is just enough to reach low orbit of 1g planet with a minimal reserve for docking maneuvers,de-orbiting and similar so it could not operate from larger planets. So no real "high-G" world capability and only limited earth size world support requiring an atmosphere.
