Captain Hopper was the commander of the ship which transported Professor Parry's expedition to Telos. He helped the Doctor defeat the Cybermen. He was one of the few survivors of the expedition. (DW: The Tomb of the Cybermen)
Hopper, a cute little bunny rabbit who dreams of visiting his relatives overseas, was a guest on "Swift Wits" and subsequently eaten by Big Mean Carl in the UK Spot in episode 206 of Muppets Tonight.
The puppet's design is similar to George and Melissa Rabbit from Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas.

Matchmaking is a system that allows players on Xbox Live to be matched with other, so as to put random players together for online game play.
Contents |
Halo: Combat Evolved did not have an Xbox Live feature. However, Halo PC allows players to play online. Since there's no matchmaking feature, players can simply select a game from a given list to join it.
Halo 2 doesn't have custom games searching, instead it has a system of matchmaking integrated into its Xbox Live feature. There are two options, Optimatch and Quickmatch. Optimatch allows players to select a type of game from a playlist, while Quickmatch simply places you into the last used playtype. For current playlists visit Bungie.net.
In Optimatch, there is a list of different types of matches you can enter.

Each type has different game types, maps, weapon sets, and other specifics about it, allowing players to select a specific one.
For the "ranked" game types (see above), a player has a stat between 1-50. When entering any of the above ranked game types, they are matched with players around their own rank. If the player wins, the Matchmaking software calculates how many experience points he or she wins. Likewise, if a player loses, the Matchmaking software deducts a certain amount of experience points from the player. The person's rank corresponds to the amount of experience points that they have.
Unranked games do not effect experience points/ranks, and you can be put together in a game with any player. These game types disregard rank.
Double EXP Weekend is a new feature in Halo 3's Matchmaking. In this playlist, unusual (ex. Grifball and Fiesta) games rarely seen compared to others (ex. Team Snipers or Living Dead) are played from Thursday to Monday.
Unlike Halo 2, if a party has a high variability of skill levels in the current playlist, it will acknowledge it as a "mixed party" and will attempt to match with another party or several parties of a similar mix of ranks between the players.
Matchmaking in Halo 3 requires an Xbox Live Gold account.
For current playlist information visit, Bungie.net.

The Hopper Rose page will be updated soon...check back for more info.
A Windmill is a building that players can use to make flour. The functional parts of the windmill are the hopper, the hopper controls and the flour bin. The flour bin is typically on the ground floor, whereas the hopper and its controls will be two storeys up (with the millstones on the storey in between).
Players do not gain any Cooking experience for making flour, so those who need it in bulk to train Cooking may prefer to purchase it (for example, on the Grand Exchange) instead of making it from scratch.
Players must first place grain (which can usually be found growing locally as wheat) into the hopper, and then operate the controls. This causes the grain to slide down the chute, where it is ground into flour by the millstones on the storey below. The flour then falls down one further storey to the flour bin. Players can repeat this step up to thirty times before the flour bin is full.
They should then go back down to the flour bin and use an empty pot on it to fill the pot with flour. Alternatively, they can just left-click on the flour bin with an empty pot in their inventory. They must do this for every empty pot they have, since the game will not fill all pots automatically (unlike filling jugs with water, buckets with compost, etc.). Each bundle of grain used provides exactly enough flour to fill one pot.
Interestingly all flour bins across Gielinor are linked. Therefore if a player leaves flour in one location it can be retrieved later at another location.
Windmills are marked on the world map and minimap with a yellow icon (
). Players can find them in the following locations:

| Name: | Wyvern |
| Affiliation: | Federation Starfleet |
| Type: | troop transport |
| Flight crew: | 2 |
| Length: | 20.2 m |
| Armaments: | Type VIII phaser array |
| Defenses: | Deflector shields |
The Wyvern-class (commonly called the "Hopper") was a type of Federation planetary troop transport that entered service in 2363. (LUG RPG: The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)
The Wyvern came in several variants, the standard version was built to carry around 30 troops from orbit to the surface and from various locations on the ground. Other variants existed that were larger and could carry more personnel and even ground vehicles. The Wyvern lacked a warp drive and needed to be ferried from system to system by a warp capable vessel.
They were equipped with a number of personnel transporters to allow for quick deployment. If transporters were unusable the craft had a number of side doors to allow for quick disembarkation.
Hopper is stationed at Autobot City: Earth along with Arcee, Beachcomber, Chase, Skydive, Trailbreaker and Wheeljack, under the command of Blaster.
When their own world was threatened by a rift in time and space in 2008, the Quintessons made plans to invade Cybertron. Their first action was to travel to Earth, where they launched a surprise attack on Autobot City. Hopper was one of the first to respond to their sudden appearance, and seconds later became one of the first to be blasted down by them. Hopper was not seen again. Space Pirates!
