[JRF] Vehicle - Workbee

The Workbee can be described first and foremost as utterly defenseless. Anyone who would consider operating one in a hostile environment, be that a combat situation or outside of a ship's shield bubble / drydock containment shield, should be referred to counseling and behavioral analysis. Moving on from that, the Workbee is a long haul mainstay of Starfleet's utility vehicles; designed to be more of a mobile modular cockpit than a shuttle, the Workbee has chemical thrusters for high and precise maneuverability but no primary engine system. It also has an on board life support system, but operators are advised to wear an EVA suit while operating the Workbee in case of atmospheric containment failure due to accidents. Completing the workbee's complement of systems are several control panels and sticks, an adjustable seat, and short wave radio system. And an alert blinker on top to warn bystanders of your presence. Given the rather basic on board systems, one might wonder how these 'shuttles' have remained in service for as long as they have. Well, that is due to their biggest feature. On the back, and bottom of the workbee are a pair of modular attachment points which allow the workbee to attach itself to a number of peripherals. From cargo sleds, to industrial work arms, from combat Killerbee augmentation rigs to docking onto industrial tractor beam arrays to control the device, the workbee is effectively a means for the pilot to have a one size fits all cockpit that they can fly to whatever utility object they must control or utilize, and dock to. There are currently several proposed upgrades (Such as shields, and a cup holder for drinks) However the design is so robust, starfleet may be using it for centuries.

The Mod/Copy Shuttle Vehicle is packed with features, including but not limited to:
-3 Modes of flight, beginner, Advanced and Expert for simple movement, aircraft like movement, and full zero-G like maneuvering.
-3 Engines speed for thruster mode and effects.
-Detailed simulation of subsystem integrity and power distribution to change how the vehicle behaves based on damage and settings.
-An autopilot feature for more advanced move-to navigation and docking / landing.
-A new alert system for sounding off alerts within the vehicle.
-Sensors that can be used to scan life signs and hints.
-A number of user tools and modification resources for custom content creation.
-A Fully made and physics enabled interior and exterior.
-Includes a system for placing other unlinked objects within the vehicle such as cargo, and keeping it in position in flight without linking.
-Fully functional huds for pilot and copilot displaying ship data and settings, and providing shortcuts to advanced functionality.
-Includes a trailer hitch system for hitching allowed objects. Includes hitchable Workbee arms that can be used for welding (and repairing S3 vehicles).
-Also includes hitchable cargo train modular kit that reacts to engine effects and power, with cargo and fluid storage options.
