Question: Do hoppers really need shells? Would it not make more sense to just have a loader component attached to a marker that serves as an interface for pods to act as the hopper shell? Pods as hi-cap mags?
The closest thing I've seen to this is the Q-loader, but that is a whole (costly/inefficient) system.
Rubber pod encapsulation interface for various pod designs?
Seems a valid evolution to me, no?
