Pirate DS-37A Utility Shuttle

Drop Shuttle-37A Utility Shuttle

NO MODS, Survival Ready.

This particular ship is designed as a medium shuttle to operate in both zero gravity and in light gravity wells. As such, it is built around a hydrogen system powering twin vertical thrusters to help when hauling cargo under gravity, including short hops into heavy gravity. Can operate with just a single pilot and there is also an optional 'gunner' seat on the dorsal side, immediately aft of a gatling turret. Both seats are connected to oxygen.

Operating as a transport, there are two side 'rumble' seats and a set of clamps beneath the tail for transporting small amounts of cargo. Internal cargo space is limited, the design depends on the clamps for transporting large quantities of materials and equipment. Four hardpoints on the nose can be modified with different equipment. Rocket launchers are standard but can be swapped for guns, cargo pods, engines, sensors, or left empty to save weight.
