[LF] Bantha Pod

This Swiss Army Knife of the Star Wars universe has arrived to Empyrion. Spawning in at level 7 for RE, and 8 for Vanilla, the Bantha Pod HV can serve as a early start mobile outpost and small bulk cargo container, and eventually upgrade to a multi-functional harvester with simultaenous placement of harvester tools, multi-tool turret, and drill turret.

Hello kindred Empyrion spirits!

Let me start with a request; please respect blueprint authors. Often it takes months to finesse a build, and to have it ripped and reuploaded without permission or even so much as credit, can be discouraging, often pushing such authors away from the community.

I personally don’t mind critical feedback, and constructive criticism, as it will serve me to better my builds. However, If you enjoy my content, and there is much more to come, respect my (and others) authorship of these massive timesinks. Thank You.

Designed to work with the Strategic Transport Assault Gunship system as expandable cargo, the Bantha Pod can stand on its own as an early start high functional industrial HV. Best used in normal G environments, the extreme end of gravity environments will sap this container of movement when fully loaded. When fully upgraded with thrusters, The Bantha Pod can get some mobility on moderately G enhanced planets.

As an early start HV spawns in with fridge, oxygen dispenser, armor locker, wifi, and detector.

Can see a number of upgrades including additional thrusters, turrets for defense, constructors, shield, and a number of other devices.

The Bantha Pod comes unarmed, but placement is provisioned for 4+ turrets. If the build is not utilized with the vertical docking pads, then the top can be converted to additional turret mounts.

The build frame has a single exterior layer of steel. For use in areas that is not pacified, the defense can be supplemented with placement of shield, and a few shield extenders for RE

2k Ammunition
32k Harvest

5 supplemental cargo boxes.

Drone Hatch – Opened from the ships menu, when standing next to either door and facing out, the player can then spawn through the hatch.

Hover Engine Toggle – The hover engines can be powered off to force the pod to drop to the ground. This can be helpful in resisting the build from sliding, when drilling from parked angles.

Designed from the outset as a small bulk container for various corporations within Hutt Space, The Bantha Pod gained notoriety when customers started modifying it to work as a portable scrapper and salvager system. Some less than savory organizations, seeing the customizable potential and a chance to grift off the pods rising popularity started utilizing it in ways unintended, such as adding turrets and laying ambushes for cargo haulers who would suddenly find themselves in positions they were unprepared for, humiliatingly having to surrender their goods over to an armed cargo container. The Bantha Pod would see use during the Galactic Civil War, serving both sides as a reliable small bulk container.
