Overview

The Rockhopper is the first ship designed by Tiared Aerodynamics Unit.

Most trading vessels have huge cargo capacity, thus sacrificing speed and maneuverability, which come very handy in a space battle. The Rockhopper tries to balance this: Having only 80 TC capacity, there is a significant amount of space to install better engines, thrusters and generators in the ship, resulting in a higher top speed and better energy recharge rate.

Availability

Available to players from Tech Level 7 systems and above.

It is a regular trading and mining vessel, but occasionally pirates choose it as their freighter too.

Requirements

The pack is in OXZ format, so it is incompatible with versions below v1.79.
