This is the newest standard issue infantry drop pod from WMI. It is outfitted with cutting edge software that allows the drop pod to land in almost any planetary environment without any user input. The landing sequence is purely automated and designed to get troops on the ground quickly and safely.

The shape of the Mk 2 is notably less angular than the Mk 1. This was due to large numbers of complaints from Mk 1 pilots who reported frequent tipping over on any non-level terrain. This caused nausea and, in some very rare instances, injury to the occupant. In order to avoid legal liability ensure user safety, WMI designed this new chassis from scratch to be much less prone to tipping on landing. This new chassis is also significantly more versatile and can easily be refit to carry a medium cargo container or survival kit.

The drop pod utilizes both ion and atmospheric thrusters for braking so that the pod is effective even on planets without atmosphere. Additionally, the pilot has an ion thruster in each lateral direction for minor course corrections during a drop.

The cockpit is connected to an air vent that can pull in oxygen from the atmosphere of the planet you are landing on (if it has air). The pilot also has access to a small cargo container which can be used to store weapons, ammo, or other necessary items. This craft is also entirely battery powered so that they can be mass produced without necessitating manual fueling of each pod.

[img=https://i.imgur.com/twuIaF6.png] Large inspiration of the shape came from the (RDA) Escape Pod M1. I wanted a more generalized platform that was battery powered and could land on moons and planets with ease, but I really like the simplicity of the shape so I designed around it. The flying porta-john actually has quite a bit more volume to put stuff in than my older drop pods which makes it super easy to refit with other internals which I loved.

I hope y'all have fun with this :)
