Literally a dropship in the sense of dropping ships, this is the all new Nucleus Dropship (Shuttlecraft Refueler & Transport) intended for the Proton series shuttlecraft and beyond... still in development.

1/15/14 UPDATE: Nip and tuck complete. Engines clipped, fuel lines run. Test flight...almost successful. Now all it needs are Rockomaxes to be able to operate on airless worlds...

Did you put the docking port of the Proton III on the center of mass so that it would not effect flight?

Evidence of convergent design is everywhere nowadays.

Anyways, I have new pics uploaded to imgur album demonstrating hangar operation and even pairing two Nuclei together. The Nucleus is nearly ready for publication. I have also completed the Proton H's first certification run. Hopefully two crafts at the same time. This outta keep our fans happy.
