TC05-A Ganges-Type Shuttlepod

PCU:8317, Block Count:1027
Standalone copy of the small ship subgrid that comes with the TC505 Makara Pleasure Cruiseliner. Uses remote timer activation script to communicate with its mothership to send and receive docking commands without needing to share off-grid toolbars.


Before finalizing the sale, we ask you to cooperate in our "Warranty Extension Process" for your almost-new support spacecraft. Please submit your best impersonation of what you think the previous vehicle owner's personal signature looks like... then, we'll let the Handwriting Reconstruction A.I.'s fix it up a bit!

Controls:
[Hotbar 1]
[1] Landing Gear - Switch lock
[2] Parachutes - Open/Closed
[3] All Thrusters - Toggle all thrusters at the same time
[4] Hydrogen Thrusters - Toggle to save fuel
[5] Main Engines - Toggle for orbital burns
[6] Docking Camera - View only available in Folded Mode, align the sight with a TC505 Makara's shuttlebay Docking Target.

Special Transformation System
[7] Launch from Makara Shuttlebay - If used from a completely berthed state inside a TC505 Makara's shuttlebay hangar, this protocol will handle egress all by itself!

[8] Transform Modes - The front prow of a Ganges-type serves as extra cargo space and conveniently folds out of the way for docking. Approaching a TC505 Makara's hangar triggers docking transformation automagically, but manual transformation control is always available for docking with other facilities.

[9] Finalize Docking and Enter Berth - After manually attaching to the exposed Small Merge Blocks with the arms of the Docking Claw inside the bay, this protocol will handle the berthing process all by itself! Before disembarking, tell your customers to stay seated until the bay fully repressurizes, of course. Then they can spend all the money they want.

[Hotbar 2 (Ctrl+2 Key)]
[1] Landing Gear - Switch lock
[2] Parachutes - Open/Closed
[3] Hydrogen Engine - Emergency Electrical Power
[4] Hydrogen Tanks - Stockpile on/off
[5] Collectors - Toggle to harvest ice with Jakaria's Water Mod when immersed.
[6] O2/H2 Generator - When stranded, a Ganges can slowly synthesize its own hydrogen with ice input.
[7] All Navigational Lights - Toggle. Good for going dark in order to evade the tax collection/pursuit drones.
[8] Ore Detector - Toggle for emergency ore/ice supply scanning.
[9] Beacon - Toggle to activate the S.O.S. signal.

Flight Tips
On a full tank, a Ganges-type has enough fuel to reach orbit. Atmospheric Thruster-only flight is possible at very low altitudes, but the pair of Large Hydrogen Thrusters [5] are required to gain any appreciable height.


Congratulations for your investment in our latest refurbished VIP-tier transport vehicle!

We heard you loud and clear! You've used our hardy yet stylish cruiseliners, but have always wanted a dedicated embarked shuttlecraft to pick up your paying customers in similar style, perhaps milk them for a few more spacebucks. We've hunted high and low for the perfect model of shuttlepod to fit within the tight clearances of our refurbished Capricorn transport's auxiliary hangar.

Unfortunately, we couldn't find any! That we couldn't properly afford to license! Legally! But then someone had the idea to simply convert the Capricorn base model's Fuel Tender support ship into a worthy SSTO-space taxi / psychological conditioning chamber. They even worked out a fancy transforming mechanism to cram even more Small Ship per Square Meter into the Makara's tiny hangarbay. Wow!




Our dedicated team of planetside Refurbishment Technicians do their very best, every day, to scrub the tingly fuel residue out of the former rear fuel tank, and skillfully convert it into a mini-dream vacation experience pod for your customers' very first impressions of your tourism venture.



You can psychologically condition six people at a time! We've seen shipboard spending increase by at least 41%! Amazing. It's all in the moody luxury interior, but more likely, it is probably just the residual fumes. Everything is in your favor, venture partner!

We wish you the very best in your space tourism enterprise.
