Another simple thing of beauty... Gotta say I love your work.

Have you tried disconnecting just those connecters?

Hm, this is because of the timer blocks, I guess... Strange.

brilliant. far better than the design i've been experimenting on.
one thing i noticed though, is that when you have a number of escape pods hooked to the same vessel, when you launch one, all of the others activate too. is there a way to change that to make just one launch? (or even better to just make two launch at a time so i can load the second one with decoys?)

omg just spent 3 hours in game making my own escape pods only to have them fail i will def be using this in all my ships cool job

Ah well I haven't messed with it yet, just saw peoples comments. Figured the low power / stick anywhere type thruster would work just fine for this if it didn't.

I love the minimalistic design! It has my vote! Though never heard of said RCS thrusters. Gonna check those out.

Edit: Ha! Also by you. Those are something I've been looking for!

Uh, it have thrusters, actually. This is escape pod, not a legitimate vessel, so it's only job is to keep you away from your ravaged ship, and possibly get you to another ship.

Some people seem concerned about the lack of thrusters, just get the RCS thrusters and whack those on there and walah! Not exactly going to get you any where fast but its an escape pod so.....

This is really awesome. I didn't even realize there were timer blocks or how connectors worked until I saw your ship! Coolio.

If I wanted to people to only look at this, I'd uploaded screenshots only.

Well, use it, duh)

I am making a abstract acclamator and would like to use your design in my build. If I may use it you WILL get al the credit for it altough I will probally change it's paint scheme yo match my ship. I await your response

@LittleIroh
It accelerates to the max fairly fast, and it have gyroscope in it, so you can fly and maneuver in this thing.

It's cute. Subscribed.

This is good. Useful to but are there thrusters? If just forward this pod could use design. Ik this is random but In halo their pods get instantly shot bc lack of propulsion and manuvere ability. Also incoming traffic would just tear the to shreds. But otherwise this design is great for fast excape or destraction.

I might have to start finding space for this on my designs. Very nice!
