Small Transports
I was wondering if there was anything in any of the rulebooks about small, 6-10 person space transports. Not for serious, long-range travel, but for short distances between asteroid habitats and moons. The space equivalent of a Martian Rover, something that can be used as a sleeping and living space as much as a transport. If not, are there any plans to include such a vehicle in the Outer Planets core rulebook?

Re: Small Transports
The rocket buggy is designed for travel distances of around 30,000 km with up to four passengers, and is effective for hab-to-hab travel within a certain vicinity. It probably cannot go from the Martian surface to space, but from asteroid to asteroid is fine. The smallest true spaceship is the SLOTV, which even in low-velocity configuration only houses about 30 and is effectively a space bus. SLOTVs are even referenced to be used by the wealthy as personal homes, so I would go with that one.
