Emergency Drop Pod [Drop Ship]

Description
The best cheapest small emergency escape vehicle.

If you are a large mining corporation, resource gathering is the number one thing on your agenda, so having the most cargo containers on your ship is the most efficient and stable way to maintain a profit, especially while in space. Room is too precious on your ships for extras and if the ships were fully automated, you would rip out the triple decker bunk beds and replace them with more cargo containers if you could. Crew safety is not high on your list, but by law, there must be enough seats for the entire crew to survive. That is where this ship comes in. It has exactly enough parts to land anywhere in the known system.

With just enough to build an assembler, refinery, med bay, solar panel, battery and passenger seat, it is fully capable of keeping 1 crew member alive for an indefinite amount of time. It also boasts the fastest acceleration in its class, with its unique unidirectional propellant layout that has not been used since the first sounding rockets. It is also fully manual with no computer guidance and the design predates atmospheric reentry or aerobraking systems.

These are the only pods that the cost is so low and their weight so light, the instruction panel was left out to save weight.

Originally planned for the W4stedspace Planets Competition.

This ship is capable of landing on asteroids and alien planets too due to its use of hydrogen thrusters. However, due to them being unidirectional, this ship is designed to park at the nearest piece of solid ground, be it in space or on a planet.

To survive using this, the assembler and battery should be built first as some of the resources left over from the ship are the wrong components yet have the proper metal in them.

This ship works on x1 inventory along with x1 everything else.

Due to this originally being designed prior to owning the game, math was done to see this things stats and determine if it could fly. Math here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwEL_qccZz7_MnBtdExoQk1Vams/view?usp=sharing
