[b]The S-3 Rapier is an interplanetary exploration ship that can fly on all planets and moons.[/b][/code]
                                                                                                        


For flying on all planets and moons except "the moon" it needs the hydrogen thrusters. 
On the moon it can hover without them. Ascent is very easy, since it can hover at all 
times on all planets. As a exploration ship it is not heavily armed and features only 
two custom turrets (2x3 gatlings) and 3 rocket launchers as it's main armament. 
The hydrogen tanks provides enough fuel for about 30 minutes of flying under combat conditions.

The custom turret is the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1754449757]Mk1-Phobos[/url]. It needs to be reloaded manually and holds enough
ammo for about 2 minutes of fire.
The ship uses two scripts for the custom turrets and sequencing the rocket launchers:
