you sound like an actual airline pilot.

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

i tested this ship in multiplayer in one of our creative RP scenarios and it was awesome. we were using the jumpdrive critcal explosion for more explosions and we were having a war between 2 factions (the third one to be exact). and we were flying above an enemy outpost to scout them when they launched a salvo of missiles at us (fun fact, i build the missiles, and obviously one of my friends gave it to them...). so i shouted "all hands to the assault pods NOW", and we all rushed out to the launching bay (exept the pilot who still thought he could outrun the missiles), we started launching down as one of the missiles hit the jumdrive, causing the ship to disintegrate. we fell directly on top of the enemy base, between all the flaming debris. out of all the cargo pods only 2 toutched down safely, the others crashed full speed for unkown reasons, and we managed to capture the base by killing all defence forces, and destroying the comm relay. and afterwards, that same pilot we thought dead in the explosion landed the front of the ship on the control tower, barely having enough trust to lift it. droping ODST style into battle was something i always wanted to realise in SC. and with your ship i did it with a background of nuclear explosions. and it was AWESOME. what i woud like to see with this tech is an "ODST drop pod module" from you. something like the vertical launch missile module you did a while back, that allow us to add a drop bay to less specialized ships.

How do you collect them once used in a scout mission or exploring a planet. Do they fly bakc to the drop ship or you do you build another ship/rover?

now i don't play space engineers but this is a pretty good concept perhaps for storming a base on a planet or maybe a stealth sabotage mission to destroy some vital systems before striking to get an advantage

[@codaman127]

I'd really like to see this with a manned rapid deployment demonstration, from flying in from orbit to the pods coming down to the ground. I'd also be impressed if the pods were completely interchangeable for where they're docked, and if you could create a turret pod that drops inverted and rotates over on the way down to possibly provide a bit of cover for the landing party. Either way though, this is awesome to see.

this design will be even cooler when they add the parachute block next patch

The point of ODST drop pods is fast insertion. Parachutes would slow them down and it’d make the pods more vulnerable.

[@Kami8705]

I could see this being used in the scenario. instead of the ship landing to let you off, you get dropped in a pod with a couple cargo containers nearby

[@mushythemushroomwizard7712]

I really love the design!!!

[@dunewolf]

Hey finally got around to logging in here on youtube to drop a comment- Yeh iI am the same Dunewolf from Steam heh. I just spent a good portion of the day testing a minigun and missile pod design (along with some other designs based on your drop pod script) The platform build worked, however ship I built to test it failed miserably lol - the platform landed fine - just the test ship I built wasnt designed well for atmospheric testing.. but thats why it was a test. I also redid a different ship to test the gun pods - that worked fine enough that I made a video of the minigun drop pod testing. its uploaded on my channel. I am currently working on a large ship build - that will fit the hanger I built that holds 10 minigun pods, and 8 missile pods in its bay area.. once I can figure out a decent ship build around that - Ill make another video of all 18 pods dropping out. though that build will take awhile - lots of testing - rebuilding/redesigning /etc.. however the hanger section is mostly done (needs some buttons/lights - then cleaning up the bits/bobs to make it look nice) I have 2 people wanting me to rebuild a couple of their ships, with the missile and minigun pods - as well as possible 4 man platform version. GL with your School stuff - look forward to the official script release :)

[@atforever_2642]

Props to you man. This is a nice build. I subbed just for this video.

My Favorit Dropship period to use for ingame events it can take a beating if you can avoid the cockpit blowout i one time turned this into a bomber and it fucking leveled the entire enemy bunker we made

[@Frodo_Shaggins]

you should add in a button to auto drop the cargo pods, so in an emergency situation you don't have to risk wasting that time pressing multiple buttons

[@easternrebel1061]

Could you potentially retrofit the pods to become bombs using warheads?

[@leadontaste7261]

Yes. I have a similar design of sticky bomb, by the way. It's quite low-yield, but if you fit the nuke mod and replace warheads, such compact kaboom can be helpful with demolition instead of just breaching hangars.

[@MrChaos211]

should update this to current stuff, would be total badass i think

[@Yggr153]

Question: I'm not the best builder. I struggle with building a base. Like building the chassis. Where should I start with that?

[@Whiplash141]

Macul Synthelik: I like to build form the inside out typically. I design my systems then build around that c:

[@Yggr153]

Hmm, I appreciate the reply. I typically look at concept art and have a bad habbit of starting with the shell and then the thrusters and the outside. But then my innards look like shit. I made a ship called "Atlas" that was actually really similar to the Hunchback (love this ship by the way). But it's biggest downfall was my shit interior design and my landing gear being stored away under armour by pistons (The tilting glitch)

[@streifenjo819]

cud you pleas make a system where the drop pods get rebuild?!

As in from a blueprint in survival? It is a bit difficult because of all the subgrids. You'd need to blueprint each subgrid and manually build them in place.

It calculates the total mass of the ship and the total thrust that the ship can use to brake, then we use physics! F = ma solved for a -> a = F/m Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad -> solve for d and plug in initial and final conditions -> V^2/(2a) = d = distance needed to brake
