Hydra [Vanilla]

Description
Originally a hydrogen-based mining concept, the Hydra quickly gained popularity due to its versatility on and off planets. Using thruster management, pilots can select between one, two, or three thrusters in each direction as payload and environment dictate. The proven design of drills feeding six oxygen generators and dual hydrogen tanks allows the Hydra to roam indefinitely as long as ice stored, and eventually encountered. Repeated planetary landings/ takeoffs and extended exploration is possible before recharge becomes necessary. After a very long burn time the Hydra will need to recharge. While it may remain aloft for this purpose, movement should be limited.

Carrying a small payload, the Hydra can use 2X thrusters for planetary movement, while only 1X thrusters are required for space travel. Landing heavier payloads onto planets will require 3X thrusters, and cargo mass exceeding 1,000,000 kg is NOT recommended. Unladen weight is 112,550 kg.
