I've been working on this ship model for some time already. Today I decided to share some pictures with you. It's not yet done. I suppose the model is 50 percent done, and at this stage some serious changes can be made. So here it is:


Hopper MK003


Designed by Markon Wings.

"Hopper" was designed in the private "Markon Wings” company, after the unnamed customer submitted a request to create a spaceship that is designed for long expeditions to survive the extreme conditions of uncharted space and harsh planets.
With the help of large flexible “legs” the ship can land on surfaces of different roughness and angle. The legs may be stationary in liquids and sustain extreme pH environments. Double fold wings shows excellent aerodynamic features, also heat-absorbing surface allows for the crossing of the planet's atmosphere at a higher angle than is usually possible. Wings are usually folded and performs additional security and temperature barrier function when in space.
16 Thruster configuration not only provides additional maneuvering of the ship, but also provides additional security, at the failure of paired thruster. High energy demands of the ship are fulfilled by fitting larger duplicate fuel tanks, gas particles are absorbed from the space with improved intake system. Defense of the ship is also important - with manual control turret, the automatic defense system turret and hard points for 6 class 2 weapons you can fly safe.
Rest assured - you will reach your goal with the "Hopper".
