The drop pod is a utility space vehicle. Its primary function is when used aboard a spacecraft.
The retractable gear keeps the drop pod standing upright, if they are retracted the drop pod will fall over on its side.
Drop pods use rocket drive propulsion and therefore does not defy gravity.
Launch
A drop pod can be launched from anywhere within a spacecraft. It is launched using the Launch command found on the right-side buttons.
In low orbit, drop pod launches in orbit, perpendicular to the path to the world.
In high orbit, drop pod launches toward the world.
If the ship is moving fast enough, drop pod launch direction is adjusted to be perpendicular to the path of the ship.
Life Boats
Drop pods have the added functionality to function as life boats in the event of its spacecraft being destroyed.
Each avatar and NPC aboard locates the nearest drop pod to them, by straight line distance. A dice roll is made to see if they made it to the pod, modified by distance. If they make it they are placed into the pod and launched.
It is possible for drop pods to go unused if people aren't lucky or they are too far away.
avatar are checked before NPCs.
