Egg Drop Pods [Mod]

Description
Which came first?
The vanilla ships are just boring, eh? How about replacing them with egg-themed ships?

Egg Drop Pod
A simple plain egg, that opens up upon landing. No controlling required. You may do a re-flight by activating thrusters [4] & [5] and closing the shell [9] for your safety. Remember, you only have one canvas inside the parachute hatch, so either fill it up and turn off AutoDeploy and activate the parachute manually or just suicide burn with the thrusters yourself.
The landing script [2] may or may not crash you through the ground if gravity is too high. Use only in Europa, Titan or other low-gravity planets.

Egg Mobile
The coolest whip since the Patty Wagon. Features 2 ion thrusters to dampen your fall, or perhaps send you into Moon's orbit. Re-fill your O2/H2 through the survival kit, cockpit is not connected to the generator.

SpaceEggs
Chicken (or an egg?) flying through space. Features ion thrusters that allow you to explore asteroids far from civilization. Stay away from gravity!

RotisserieMiner
Is it a mining ship? Or is it a chicken corpse with drills attached to it? I don't know, but I can tell you that this is not a starting ship, since it's got no survival kit or anything else. Just some O2 to keep you alive.

ChickPea
How is this related to eggs? Well, it's got "chick" in it's name. It's not there for no reason, is it? Maybe it is. Anyway this ship is always there for you. It can't do much, but will get you from A to B.

Controls
The tool-bars should be fairly self-explanatory. When driving the Egg Mobile, play with dampeners [Z] to make driving possible. [2] in Egg Drop Pod activates suicide burn and thats about all you need to know. Press [G] and point your cursor at the action for info.

Notes
- First three ships contain an ore detector, an antenna or a beacon and of course a survival kit.
- Each cargo container holds some enhanced tools, O2 and H2 bottles, possibly power/med -kits, Clang Cola/Cosmic Coffee and a few Space Credits. Oh, and a gun, the S-10 Pistol with a few rounds.
- Not mandatory, but if you want the Whip's Drop Pod -script usable, enable in-game scripts through world settings.
- I probably couldn't have done this all myself. Huge thanks to Turgeis for being my emotional support. Definitely check out their respawn mod!

Difficulty
ranked by starting resources

Egg Drop Pod: Easy - A lot of blocks. Probably a pain to grind down.
Egg Mobile: Medium - Less blocks. Well, it's a car.
SpaceEggs: Hard - Least blocks. Easiest to expand upon.

RotisserieMiner & ChickPea are not valid starter ships.

Enable RespawnShip Cooldowns in the world settings to balance the game properly.

the almighty egg lands once again soon an engineer will hatch and he will conquer that galaxy just like they conquered all others

@Eve: All used blocks are present in vanilla. The "Mod" -tag is intended to mean modded respawn ships in this case.

Does this add anything, cause it's marked as a mod but it seems these are all vanilla blocks meaning no modded content?

No soup? I'm disappointed.

As a poultry farm manager and space engineers enthusiast, this excites me a little too much

@The Field Marshal Yes! Just select "SpaceEggs" in the spawn menu.
