The Puddle Jumper is a fictional spacecraft in the TV series Stargate Atlantis
A puddle jumper, originally yet rarely referred to as a gateship, is a small spacecraft created by the Ancients. Several of these ships are discovered in Atlantis, and are used by the Atlantis Expedition to travel to other planets. The name "puddle jumper" is applied by John Sheppard in "Rising". Puddle jumpers are cylindrical ships with an angled front and rear that can fit through a Stargate. The interior is divided into the cockpit and the aft section; despite a statement in "Thirty-Eight Minutes", the bulkhead door between the two is airtight and can hold against the pressure of the deep ocean. Access to the jumper is provided by a rear hatch. Puddle jumpers have built-in DHDs that can dial Stargates in both the Milky Way and in Pegasus. The original cockpit console from the first season was made out of plexiglass, while different console designs are seen in later seasons. As with many pieces of Ancient technology, operating a puddle jumper requires the ATA gene to operate, commands can be given mentally or using physical controls. Information is given to the pilot via a holographic HUD.
During normal flight, a puddle jumper is propelled by two sublight engine pods that extend from the hull; these pods are retracted when the ship is landed or needs to move through a Stargate. Puddle jumpers can operate underwater. They have inertial dampeners that negate g-forces inside, which can also be used to change the jumper's weight. After having his mind enhanced by an Ancient device, Rodney McKay develops a way to install a hyperdrive in a jumper. The modified jumper is later used to steal a ZPM from Asuras, though the hyperdrive has a range of only 2,000 light-years and McKay believed they would be lucky to complete two jumps in it. Puddle jumpers are armed with drone weapons housed in two retractable pods forward of the engines. They normally do not have shields, but are equipped with a cloaking device to evade enemies which renders the ship effectivly invisible to both the eye and most sensors. A puddle jumper's cloaking generator can be set to create a shield instead, but this drains the jumper's power very quickly. McKay has also modified the cloaking generator to generate an Replicator disruptor field. The puddle jumpers used by the Atlantis Expedition are stocked with Earth equipment, including various weapons, emergency supplies, and tools. The Ancient Janus created puddle jumpers capable of traveling through time.
I know it is not perfect some features will be put in to later versions and up grades.
the Puddle Jumper is a inter planetary vessel so fell free to explore.
Requires Vinka's Spacecraft3 not included.
Enjoy
