Space Pod

Space Pods are the station's pilotable support craft. Capable of holding one pilot and one passenger and a variety of gizmos these wonderful craft are a sure welcome addition to a certain space station. There are two types of pod and the station comes with one pod fully decked out with armor and weaponry.

How to build the damn thing is a different story. Grab your welding mask, put on some mechanic's overalls and get cracking!

Before the Pods, there was nothing

Near arrivals there is a hangar with a single fabricator capable of manufacturing the parts needed to make a single space worthy pod. However this is not your average puzzle or toy building blocks set, this a is dirty, hard and laborious process need patience and a bit of materials.

You will need to grab the following:

• 1 Blue Toolbox (With everything inside)
• 1 Yellow Toolbox (You will need wires)
• Lots of Metal
• Lots of Glass
• A stack of Reinforced Glass (Do not feed into the Fabricator or you will spend the rest of the round looking for replacements!)

You will need to pressurize the hangar when you open the doors. Anything more than a 1x1 hole into space will leak lots of air. The air pumps should be turned on with the pressure set to 200. Additionally there are three sets of pipes that are connected to a O2 Canister, a Plasma Canister, and a Air Canister. Use a wrench to hook up the Air Canister and use the manual valve to open the flow.Get internals and a mask as well as the air pumps and the canisters are no guarantee from suffocation.

Pieces of the Pod

Item	Image	Resource Cost	Description
Engine Manifold		10 Mauxite, 5 Pharosium	A required component in the Space Pod. Needed to propel the pod.
Pod Circuity		5 Molitz, 5 Pharosium	A required component in the Space Pod.
Light Pod Armor		30 Mauxite, 20 Pharosium	A required component in the Space Pod. A lightly armored hull plating.
Heavy Pod Armor		30 Mauxite, 20 Bohrum	Heavier Armor for taking heavier firepower. Optional equipment for those wanting the extra stuff.
Pod Control Interface		10 Molitz, 10 Pharosium	A required component in the Space Pod. Can't fly a pod well without controls right?
Pod Frame Kit		30 Mauxite	The most basic part of the craft is the frame. A mass of jumbled together metal bars and beams that need assembly. You start your piloting career here.
Cargo Hold		10 Molitz	For holding cargo.
Plasma Cutter System		5 Cerenkite, 5 Plasmastone, 5 Bohrum	Plasma Cutter for mining!
Ship's Navigation GPS		???	Apparently space is a globe and you need a positioning system for the globe in case you get lost. You will get lost in space and this handy device will be very helpful.
Laser Weapons		???	Pods shooting lasers! Now where can we get them?

Building the Pod

Now you got the pieces all memorized its time to build the damn thing. Be advised since it is a 64x64 sprite you have to stand on the South West corner of the pod sprite in order to construct it. The steps below should be followed in order.

• Get the Pod Frame Kit. Deploy the box and you should have a jumble of metal.
• Wrench the mass of metal. It should look less like a pile of junk.
• Wrench again. This time it should look like a functional but unsecured frame of a space pod.
• Weld.
• Insert Wires
• Place Pod Circuitry inside.
• Place Engine Manifold.
• Add Metal.
• Put Light/Heavy Pod Armor on the pod frame.
• Weld.
• Place Pod Control Interface
• Place 5 sheets of Reinforced Glass

This will complete your Space Pod. Since there are extras you can apply to the pod. Simply add to the pod and you are done!
