It also contains two assemblers, a hydrogen engine as a backup battery charging system, and two programmable blocks, one to rapidly offload its cargo when docked and one to cycle the lights through various colors to increase visibility so the ship can be readily spotted, even at a distance. It has a few external solar panels to maintain some level of battery charge, and contains onboard processing to produce hydrogen from ice and an (optional) stone crusher (see my mod for more information) to process the stone any mining ships deliver to save space. It is lightweight enough to be quite agile, even with only a handful of thrusters and a few gyros. When in space, its ion system allows for the conservation of hydrogen without too serious a speed penalty, but it can operate on hydrogen thrust alone (especially useful for the early game before you have acquired platinum for ion thrusters). The ship features a three-mode propulsion system it is capable of maintaining level flight in atmosphere on the jet engines alone up to about 50% of cargo capacity the additional hydrogen engines will cover the remaining difference, as well as allowing it to escape planets with gravity even over 1G, even when fully loaded.
