The Flying Carpet

Have you ever wondered how you were going to fly up above a ship to build it on a planet with no fuel for your jet pack? Here is the answer. This is a very small hover ship with a large platform for you to stand on while you are placing blocks and welding them together on a planet. you simply walk up on to the platform before you get in the chair to control the ship. When you exit the chair again you will be standing on the platform exactly where you were before you got into the chair. from here you can reach things that are out of reach while you are walking around on the ground. Hovering the ship uses 0.16% power and has a 6 day fuel time on fully charged batteries. You can charge the ship by either parking it in the sun or plugging it into a larger platform with the onboard connector. there is also a medium cargo container onboard within easy reach that you can use to store building materials. The ship is a drone so it does not have an actual cockpit. This means you can move it around even when you are not standing on it.

You should be advised that this is not a high performance craft so bumper wheels have been placed instead of landing gear to reduce the need for repairs. Also, you may have to turn off the connector in order to disconnect it as it may not have the power to separate itself.

***EDIT*** v1.1 - Improved the building platform and added spotlights for nighttime operations.
