Transport Shuttle 1.4 and 1.5
This version of the mod is compatible with game version 1.
This version of the mod is compatible with game version 1.4, 1.5 and with the new version of SRTS Expanded .
With this mod you will be able to build and use a space transport shuttle.
The shuttle is meant to be a late game transport tool, so getting and building one is pretty difficult.
1. First you need a blueprint. It can be bought from the Empire. Or you can get it as a quest reward. Or just steal, if you're lucky enough.
2. From the blueprint, you will be able to obtain the data necessary for the reseach project.
3. Collect the right amount of resources, build a shuttle, refuel it with chemical fuel, and go flying!
Using shuttle technology and data derived from autonomous space drones, you will be able to create a transport version of a space drone.
It is not as heavy as a shuttle, but much faster and more economical on chemical fuel.
By studying mechanitors technology, it became possible to build a transport version of their ancient ship. Thanks to the successful layout of the cargo compartment and fuel tanks, their capacity is much higher than that of a common shuttle.
However, this comes at the cost of increased fuel consumption.
