Description
Edit July 27 2023: Renamed to V-13h to avoid designation conflict with Osprey. Major overhaul of the conveyor system, which was largely a legacy of the original design. Added 2 more hydrogen tanks and more cargo containers. Converted to reinforced conveyors where possible. Screenshots redone.

Based on the IMDC V-10i Dragonfly by JD Horx

IMDC V-13h DragonFly MedEvac Transport:

The original V-10i Dragonfly was envisoned as a light personnel transport. However, with the advent of newer craft which could take passengers to orbit in greater comfort and packing additional firepower, this ship was lacking a role. Inspired by the famous Jolly Green Giant helicopter from a long-bygone earth conflict, these old ships were repurposed into a medical evacuation transport, with 4 cryopods taking the place of the 4 open seats. Additional thrust was added to aid its escaping planetary gravity wells and get its passengers prompt medical attention. This old design thus received a new lease on life, serving a crucial role in the IMDC.

Out-of-character:

This ship always kind of reminded me of the Jolly Green Giant helicopter for some reason. As it no longer had a real place, its roles taken by the Raven and Osprey, I figured why not turn into a medevac? It suits the design and it fills a role that otherwise was vacant.

Scripts used: Blarg's Ascent Cruise Control - Just activate it and sit back as the ship takes you to orbit.

Update: Replumbed the conveyor system with reinforced conveyor tubes, added 2 more hydrogen tanks, and more cargo containers. Minor visual improvements to the rear as well.

Gunship V-10 upgrade coming soon.

I really like how that looks, wet blanket. That's super cool. I'll check it out when I load up the game. One concept idea I had was a jumpship sled, where a ship can connect to it and it can extend their jump range or give them jumpdrive capability if they don't already have it. But, quite frankly, my design skills kind of suck. I can do a great job of updating an existing design and copy an aesthetic, but creating new is challenging.

here's a mock-up proof of concept for an Imdc survival kit drop pod

Phshsh, Jay you don't need a survival kit, this ship could be perfect to pick up and drop off a small grid survival kit pod. Think modular

This is great. If only there was room for a survival kit.
