Description:
The Armoured Drop Capsule is a standard Drop Troop Insertion weapon. They are usually designated by the
ADC, number of pod, and then number on the ship.  These are generally removed for covert ops missions.  It
normally has 2 weeks worth of MREs and weapons cargo  And 1.6 hours of fuel.

The Drop Capsule is one of the standard Drop Troop Insertion platforms. Armoured Drop Capsules are usually
designated  by "ADC-number of pod-id number on the ship". 
It normally contains 2 weeks worth of MREs, weapons cargo, and 1.6 hours of fuel. These capsules are
capable of surface evac and recovery by their vessels.

Half Electronics Suite - Implemented
  • Half model/1 computer ( 1H) -half size, half price and half functionality. For Tiny craft.
  • Half sensor - half size and price, non-interactive passive sensor. Objective is to define and select geographic    settings (land not water, etc) and close activity (250m).
  • Half communicator - half size and price, a close range locator beacon with extremely close range communications.
Escape Pod Padding - Optional
A same size, price alternative to a 1 pilot couch. The interior walls have heavy pads, shocks, and full body straps
for 4 passengers.  Each passenger must roll Dex to avoid injury once during re-entry or orbital insertion.

Alternative insertion platforms include:
1. Armoured Drop Capsules
2. Parawing
3. Grav Chutes
4. Grav Belts
5. Personal reentry Kit
6. Matter Transporters
