When and where were these "Hopper drives" first mentioned, and why are they called that?

Everything in Privateer 2 looks so dark! I have a Diamond Stealth II S220 video card, which is based on the Rendition Verité 2100 chipset, and an Optiquest Q51 15" monitor. The Q51's brightness and contrast controls are turned up to maximum, but it doesn't help. The biggest problem is the...
