RV-05P "Hellpod" Guided Re-Entry Vehicle

The RV-05P is a dirt-cheap, dead simple, single occpant re-entry vehicle designed to drop a single occupant from orbit to any point on a planet's surface with about 1.5m precision. Utilizing autopillock 1T control, the RV-05P is incredibly versatile and even capable of surface launches.

• Step 1: Decide on drop type, unguided (to a point on the planet's surface directly below the launching ship) drops must happen in gravity. Guided drops should happen either in gravity or very close to it.
  
• Step 2: Orient launching ship to top hatch of pod is facing towards planet.
  
• Step 3: Adjust guidance computer Custom Data. For guided launches, copy your GPS coords to clipboard, and remove name and color from string and insert X,Y,Z coordinates into the move task. For unguided launches, comment out middle four lines, and comment out last three lines.
  
• Step 3: Trigger Launch Timer.

• All Environments: Capable of deployments above virtually any planet or moon owing to its hydrogen propulsion (although most extensively tested in 1-3G planets).
  
• Cheap and Light: Designed foremost for rapid production, RV-05P is capable of being fabricated by a single welder and only includes the bare minimum required components.
  
• Survival Ready: Fully plumbed and survival ready with no sub-grids present. Designed to integrate with a ship-borne launcher.

• PCU: 977
  
• Block Count: 108
  
• Non-Armor Blocks: 94
  
• Triangles: 80,117
  
• Grid Mass: 5,861 kg.
  
• Lifting Capacity: 1x marine, full complement of ammunition and weapons.

Autopillock (APCK) is used for both the flight and landing guidance. It's a fantastic script!

This ship is vanilla and uses several DLC for cosmetics.

Helldivers! I loved the way the support system in game works, and want to eventually create something similar with an orbital ship printer capable of firing HE warheads, cluster bombs, supplies etc and user designated points but I'll have to learn more about scripting first.

Special thanks to cheerkin for making APCK and thereby making this possible!

I'm always open to suggestions or ideas so please let me know if you have any!
