@garaman well snap modules are a hard concept for me i will take it into creative and try it before i spawn it in game i guess it having its own CPU does help :) out alot thanks cant wait to have it on my carrack in game would be nice if there was a version of it with this already built in

@striker88 Nope, leave the core. Once it docks just turn off the thrusters. It just remains as a docked ship doing its thing.

@garaman so once its docked you just remove the core?

@striker88 Once you spawn it you can see the pilot seat at the rear-left of the ship. Once you are in you can use the instructions I detailed in the workshop description above to dock it. Just make sure that the pod is the same faction as your Carrack if you are in a faction.

i dont even know how to attach this to the ship

@Garaman thanks for confirming. I figured it was something like that. My compliments on a great add to the already great ship.

@BlindMelonhead The "mobile solar panels" are actually fake solar panels. They just reduce power consumption passively by 50 or 100w based on the size. They don't need to see the sun, they won't show anything in the solar statistics, and their lights won't work correctly. But that -1.49kW power usage is where the magic happens.

When I look at the statistics it's showing zero solar output even though I'm parked right next to a sun. Am I misinterpreting the stats page? It is showing -1.49kW power usage so maybe that's where the solar is going

What an awesome idea. Looks great too

This is fantastically clever Garaman. Excellent creation!

I figured Vectrasor, and thank you. But I felt the need to clarify for others because it is a very common misconception that you can dock armor panels to ships to protect them, and losing your ship can be an expensive way to learn that lesson. All good fun though.

Sorry I like to troll a little. I like your ingenuity.

@Vectrasor Docked ships are invisible to weapons fire to to prevent exploits, but the belly of your ship will still take damage.

Thanks for the comments everyone, glad you like it.

the pod also seems indestructible in my single player game. Well done, now I know what new tactic to use. Exposing my belly to the enemy guns ;)

Nicely shaped design! I tried to do something similar for any ship, but it looks like a boxcar.

Nnnlike a Glovvf

Beautiful integration

Thumb'd and fav'd sir... This was worth you loosing a nights sleep over :)

Perfection.
