[KBS] Solar Respawn Pod Mk. II

*Note: Tested under vanilla speed settings only! Suitable for use in space or on Earth-like, Mars-like, and Alien-like planet types as well as Europa-like and Titan-like moons. Not suitable for Luna-like moons due to the lack of atmosphere.

Looking for a planetary pod that uses Hydrogen Thrusters and is capable of landing using any speed mod? Try the Lander Respawn Pod!

For a full listing of all kobosian respawn ships, see here! All ships are continually updated to remain version compatible and are designed to fulfil distinct roles and functions.

This is the planet-ready version of the Solar Respawn Pod. Major changes in design include the introduction of Atmospheric Thrusters to enable planetary flight (while retaining a few Ion Thrusters for basic maneuverability in space). Overall, this is the perfect pod for those players who wish to experiment with survival starts on (or nearby) planets.

Just after the blueprint? You can find it here!

A small grid Respawn Ship designed for survival PvP servers with a minimum 3x inventory multiplier. This mod replaces all stock respawn ships with three different colour variants of the Solar Respawn Pod.

Oriented towards minimalism, the Solar Respawn Pod comes stocked with all the materials required for starting out fresh without handing everything to the player on a silver platter.

Within the Pod's inventory are enough components to build...
- 2x Battery
- 2x Solar Panel
- 1x Oxygen Generator
- 1x Oxygen Tank
- 1x Medical Room
- 1x Assembler
- 1x Arc Furnace
- 1x Small Cargo Container
- 5x Light Armor

With a bit of extra Silicon to aid in the future construction of a Refinery (ie. Computers).

In addition to this, the pod itself can be easily torn down for salvage or left as is for use as an atmospheric scouting craft.

The pod utilises a combination of Solar Panels and Batteries for power and is completely independent of Uranium. It has a simple yet stylish design and incorporates all the standard blocks one would expect of a modern respawn ship, including Oxygen Generator, Oxygen Tank, Air Vent, Antenna, Remote Control, Camera (for first person landings), and Ore Detector.

*Note: For the sake of multiplayer server stability no Landing Gear are installed on the pod.

A small quantity of Ice is supplied with the pod to give the player just enough time to track down new sources. Emergency player tools and Oxygen/Hydrogen Bottles are also provided.

As well as being fully capable in space, the Solar Respawn Pod is designed to enter into a planet's gravity well and automatically come to a sustainable hover by use of its Atmospheric Thrusters.

All the player is required to do is keep it level to the horizon and by roughly the 3000m altitude mark the pod's speed should noticeably start slowing down for an eventual stop at roughly 500-1000m altitude.

*Caution: These numbers are based on test landings on a standard Earth-like planet starting from an altitude of 15000m. Individual landing results may vary depending on the height of the landing surface, the gravity of the planet, and the top speed achieved. This pod has not been tested with any speed mods.
