Mk 7 Hopper

Description
It goes up tiddly up, it goes down tiddly down!

... And that's about it really :D


Introducing the Space Engineers NotFalcon9™ (or just Mk 7 Hopper as I called it)

Press the button on the side or trigger the launch via antenna. It will begin in 15 seconds.

The rocket ascends to ~1.3km, then cuts the engine and falls to 300m where it pulses the engine twice to bring it to a speed that the landing legs can (usually) handle. It will reset ready to launch again 10s after touchdown.

There's definitely an exact science to this, but I found it more fun to figure it out by trial and error, so it's not 100% reliable. But the crashes are entertaining!

Use only in 1g and from a flat and level launchpad

my 2nd and 3rd bursts are happening at the top pushing it a bit higher then it comes crashing down its real fun

You could theoretically alter the timers to allow it to come up to the edge of orbit and deliver a 2nd stage though. I might see if that's possible, sounds fun.

Nope!

Does it serve a purpose other than going up and coming back down?

Glad you all like it!

@Skallabjorn They are from the CWP, they are called 'RP-3 Stabilisers'
They're a remodeled gyroscope but I thought they looked good when used like this :)
