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. Get an air tank and a mask as well as the air pumps are no guarantee from suffocation.
