Also that the Cycle would have enough power to overcome the gravitational pull of a planet.
while for doing EVAs or shuttle Documents or trumbles.. in space it would make sense...
But not as a shuttle that is starting of on a planet. and landing on a planet...
It would imo require a new AI... that make it go back and forth between ships and stations and should only be found in the vicinity of stations...
possibly it should have a script
Aarrrgh. i still don't know how to AI yet. I'm even struggling with unique roles. Still, must push on.

i had a half idea for a cycle type thing that i never got around to - they'd be like a defence ship for big freighters or asteroid pirate bases - w/ no shielding to speak of they'd be easy kills if they weren't so fast and manoeuverable, and fitted only w/ a weak beam laser they're not THAT much of a threat, but they would come out en masse like midges and annoy you whilst you were trying to concentrate on the bigger ships.
