looks escape pod can't load into Assault Frigate.... sigh.

Hi, the Survival Ready means that the model can be used in survival worlds with all (or almost all) of the described features. Since Grievous can be built, loaded with necessary cargo (such as medkits, ammo, tools) in survival mode and can work without external support for some time, its marked as Survival Ready. And since the intended purpose of this model is escape from failed ship/station and wait the rescue I decided that there is no need in a survival kit or other complex systems.

so its not survival ready? it has no survival kit and else

"Time to abandon ship"

ofc!

Make sure it's a big carrier!
With deployable ground forces for planetary invasions xD!

I already have plans for new line of warships and carrier is one of the most important parts of this line :)
4th image is the prototype of launch bay for next ships
CaveDwaller, this is a new skin from Keens, and once i tried to make them from blocks and yeah, no success as well

In the third image, I'm curious how you managed to get the black and orange slanted lines. I'be tried to do something like that before for a road and I didn't have any success.

Also what's the 4th image? I guess just a set?

So, if OPC is getting this into logistics, it's time to start speaking about carriers and small vehicles.

Carriers should have at minimum, 10 interceptors, 8 bombers, 10 fighters, 4 dropships, 2 gunships, a multitude of ground vehicles that are cabable of deployment via dropships, this should include tanks, scout vehicles, APCs, and more. This would be for a mini carriers, but not SE friendly.

To look at a standard carrier, at least what they should be, you should look at the Revelation Assault Carrier, the new one. I consider that the minimum for a fleet assault.

At the same time, to clear landing zones for dropships, drop pods will be needed, if not gunships. These would be used to insert heavy infantry into deep enemy territory, and clearing LZs. And for assisting assaults.

This is just for general logistics of a combat ship.

Mantha, when i built this pod I was thinking only that it will be a fine addition to my collection :P
kingslycamben, right now there is no compatible ship, but upcoming models will contain (or be compatible) this pod. What about the first shot this is an upcoming station with 2 pods and on the 3rd there is one of prototype of launch bay for the next ship that I am working on in parallel

Are any of your ships compatible with the escape pod? and what is the ship it is launching from in the 1st and 3rd pictures?

Interesting name, especially for an escape pod...you'd think that "Grievous" would be the name of a dreadnought...or a lightsaber-wielding cyborg :P
