This Grasshopper is shown with a fairly common option– the energy lance. This type of weapon is atypical on a vehicle of this size because of the power-oscillation requirements. However, during early design stages of the Grasshopper it was discovered that the exact positioning of the degrav units set up an unusually strong magnetic containment field. Because of this, even the small power plant on the vehicle is sufficient to power the weapon. One oddity of this arrangement is that if the cargo on one side has substantially more mass than on the other, the weapon's performance degrades. Although it has yet to be confirmed as of this writing, it is rumored that UniCarg Industries is pursuing an alternate military version of the Grasshopper. |
