Now you just gotta make an airplane capable of dropping more of these and show us that upon an unfortunate target!

You should add some decoys that get ejected just before it hits ground to really mess with defenses

[@KeithOlson]

Yes! Add decoys to the three parts that get ejected and only seperate from them just before landing.

[@crowsenpai5625]

“What? No! We said airstrike, not ground forces!” “It can be both!”

[@PSC4.1]

Flip the side the parachute is on and put a tip at the front and pack it with explosives, and you have effectively made the MOAB.

[@zachw2906]

I love this partly because I can see a frantic attempt by ground units to splash these things before they can land and deploy. Also, intriguing use of mag plates to absorb impact

[@Alen725]

"frantic attempt" You mean one gatling turret owning it in second before it can even deploy? You call it frantic attempt?

[@zachw2906]

@@Alen725 that works great until they get dropped on foot soldiers or a convoy with no turrets. Also, if they have antennae, they could be remote-controlled, which means you drop them from outside turret range and fire in

So how many watched in anticipation to see what exactly the pod was. Once it hit the ground I was like "Siiiiick" .That was awesome

[@zlosov5817]

I hate that i know the hardest part wasn't the decoupling stages, it was the blasted wheel tracks. It is sick as hell, if a bit impractical though. I think you could definitely size down the design

[@cpt-cheese3489]

Literally every single one of my designs is impractical but sick

[@g_kamikazi]

fuck that, there’s nothing more demoralizing than the enemy sending a bunch of high altitude cargo jets and raining down remote control towers with 18 guns mounted to each

[@riverswing2502]

Just imagine dropping loads of these behind enemy lines, it makes a lasting threat instead of an avoidable or temporary threat like normal ordinance

this looks awesome, a workshop link would be very appreciated, but apart from that, I really like the way that you have a fairing on the actual drop pod to make sure it is angled downwards before its properly released.

[@Ferzaken]

This is basically adding a new meaning to the word epic in a SE context

[@sebolonepl7274]

That is absolutely brilliant, great work, I love this! You gave me so many ideas for new creations now.

[@commanderfreakkz5688]

Imagine seeing this coming down from the cargo plane and start shooting at the base. [Edit] why did I get so many likes?.

[@J0hnB09]

This is why the rail-gun exists.

[@mattkiefs]

It may not be terribly dangerous or effective per unit cost, but my respect for my opponent would be so vastly improved. His sheer commitment to an aesthetic of war! Huge flex.

[@gipsydangeramericasmonster9632]

Worse, seeing it drop from orbit

[@MiroslavKramar]

This looks like something the US Army would test. Great work! Love the design.

[@AchanCham_]

Excellent work and cinematography! I was very curious as to what the final reveal was and it did not disappoint!

[@Ruby_Coast]

Love it, what you wanna see!

[@random_femboy_protogen]

Cool drop pod, good c130 replica and nice music :D

[@iain-duncan]

Music did a great job setting the vibe. Makes me wanna use something like this in my cyberpunk style dnd game

[@simplementepersona]

That's amazing.

[@danmur15]

man i wish there was an angle of the stage separation from the cover's POV, i bet that wouldve looked badass

[@Daddy_Damo]

Unfortunately the two parts were merged and the follow cam always defaulted to the largest grid after they separated, but I agree that would have been a sick shot

[@knut-olaihelgesen3608]

Love the idea of just dropping the structure right down and have its legs absorb the damage while planting it in the ground

[@sarven5974]

Yo this is awesome! Imagine dropping this unto a battlefield and watching the enemy scram as they try to get outta dodge

[@renaudlelong2805]

I think now you should make a boarding torpedo with this design.

[@statelyelms]

My god that's sick. Dropping automated gun platforms that EMBED THEMSELVES IN THE GROUND due to their FREEFALL VELOCITY is just so cool

[@MALICEM12]

This is awesome, love how the skids eject and the use of a parachute like in real drop offs. Tho the disconnecting shell is probably unnecessary. The falling on the prongs was dope.

[@alejandrostrass2559]

Bro took the space "engineer" too seriously. Awesome work and idea 😎

[@mailleweaver]

Aww, I wanted to see the shroud parachute down onto the pod and get in its way. Using the parachute to pull it from the plane was quite smart, though. No need for complicated piston pushers or funny flying; just deploy the chute to deploy the pod. They need a way to cut chutes instead of having to wait for movement to stop. That would let you cut it loose after the pod is out and turn on a thruster to push the shroud out of the way of the pod's landing zone. Bonus points if it does extra damage to the enemy base in its fall.

[@darkehartplays]

You can cut a chute by issuing the block a close command.

[@aperson9973]

[@uncletrashero]

Haha this is cool it reminds me of an idea i had for a future type of warfare where you drop these giant spikes from space, that dig in to the ground from the impact like a dart sticking into a dart board, and then on top are huge turrets with 360 degree view and coverage. They basically have Tank Main Artillery facing down toward the ground, and hundreds of Laser anti-aircraft turrets facing up and outward.

You know that drop pod kinda looks like the star base constructor for the TEC on Sins of a solar empire: Rebellion

Space Engineers needs a mode where there's a strategic need for using planes and deploying things like this. I really like the game, but it's mostly, but not entirely a proof of concept sim.

[@zsoltlang2144]

damn that turret makes me remember of the Warhammer machinegunand rocket turrets, they are deployed from orbit, and smashes into the ground, but with rocket boosters, to be more quick at landing, they don't have parachutes to mitigate the fall dmg

[@gta-carmodz9039]

Very nice. I made a container with a cruise missile inside (lamp controlled). Can be launched from any plane (got my own AC130 clone).
