Amphion - Egret - Modular Transport [Vanilla]

Amphion is proud to present the latest in atmospheric utility craft in its lineup: The Egret.

The Egret is a modular transporter that utilizes pods built to fill numerous roles
-Fuel Pod
Provides a means of getting fuel from one place to another very quickly, or as a space-flight fuel pod for trans-atmospheric flight.

-Utility Pod
Provides improved handling and lift, as well as a means of towing other objects. Can lift over twice its own mass in Mars atmosphere.

-Troop Pod
Provides rapid insertion with some moderate armored protection for troops and or rescue personnel. Is capable of operating with limited maneuverability on its own. Can be used to retrieve stranded personnel.

-Welding Pod
Detaches and operates as its own atmospheric ship, built to aid in construction and return to the Egret for rapid transport.

-Grinding Pod
Detaches and operates as a salvage vessel, built to assist in recovery operations when deconstructing damaged craft.

-Junk Pod -- We really mean bomb (dumbfire payload, stone disposal)
Can only be welded on, as it has no thrust systems, and will pull all available stone until its containers are filled to the brim.

To detach an attached pod, press 3.


It is just over 180 tonnes while dry-loaded, comes with real-time radar and lcd displays (thanks to the wonderful programmers MMaster and ThatRadarGuy)

The Egret is built for speed, and is capable of providing modest defenses for itself while it carts around different craft or pods. Effectively a flying big rig, except prettier.

She is built to recharge off of her reactors, and is a single-seater by default.

As a warning - The Egret has numerous projectors with blueprint data stored on them. I was able to avoid the branching blueprint issue by utilizing a separate maintenance configuration. It will take time to load up when pasting into a world or building fresh.
