This is a special ship, developed to give a lift to up to 10 passengers or crashed pilots in need.
What makes this ship so special is its ability to manage over-crowded market platforms as this is what it was designed for: while it cannot protect you from market-caused disconnects and error messages, it however can easily navigate on these platforms as no obstacle is high enough to cause any problem: Unbelievably, it can hover up to one hundred and two = 102 meters (!!!!!!!) above any PLATFORM or CONSTRUCT! Yes, 102 meters were the measured maximum! Otherwise around 30 meters. We measured on the Alioth Market 6 platform which itself is 222 meters above sea level. Please refer to the screenshots.
We also made sure it can reach a nice little speed, its possible maximum speed was never measured as we had to limit acceleration to 2,250 km/h (that we now call SMS = Safe Maximum Speed) to avoid damage to elements (one of the front adjustors) that we observed starting to happen at 2,256 km/h.
When we shut off all engines at maximum altitude (around 4,600 m) at SMS, this ship is so airworthy it took over 20 minutes to gently glide down and land.
As this ship was designed for passengers, it provides a great view thanks to large window areas and special enheightened seats positioning. You will see.
And finally, we gave a very unusual yet pleasant shape to this high-speed taxi, partially inspired by those air buses seen on Coruscant, center of the Galactic Republic, in Star Wars.
SIDE NOTE
We had a big smile when we found out that our ship can give a few minutes of sub orbital experiences to passengers, just like Virgin Galactic's "VSS Unity" (Richard Branson) or Blue Origin's "New Shepard"" (Jeff Bezos). To do that, simply put all engines to full power, and aim upwards in "Ground Object!" mode or "Flying Object" mode. This will get you out of the atmosphere. But of course, gravity will eventually get you back and you then can do it again.
So you see, you can now finally become a serious competitor to Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos!

Just bought this and it is now the official Taxi shuttle called "Pod" for Dolphin Cove Resort. Fits my needs perfectly. VR over to Dophin Cove Resort and see it at the Pod Station. thanks for creating this and nice work overall on the ship.

Hi. How did you achieve the damage of the windowes? When I did the speed test, I got only one of the frontal adjusters to get damage. I wonder if damage depends on factors I don't know. For the breaking: I purchased 30 Brake S, and added them below the bottom of the floor, in staples of 5 (three staples on each side). More can be added still, but I self have no need for more breaking power. Others might have. What is that Hit Box bug about?

Funnily enough I was a passenger in this yesterday and can say the speeds etc are correct. Great views out off the windows as a passenger. Nice lighting (I must ask him what the rgb code is for the cabin lights). The high hover height is great for lifting you out of a tight space before travelling away. It also handles well at very low speeds, he actually flew it in and around the inside of my l core hanger without hitting anything, which when you have an l core ship hanging off the ceiling girders and s & xs core ships hanging off the walls as well as parked fairly normally on the floor as I have, is not that easy in an s core ship.
Replaced hovercraft seat with command seat to avoid hit box bug added trogs sat nav lua, archhud conf and damage report lua. Being lead footed I did manage to damage 3 elements (all windows) at 1950 km/h doing between 1 and 6 points of damage to them on a 2000 km trip. Speed great as is acceleration, braking is fine for glide landing.
