Base Command - Pod Pad
From PlanetsWiki
This tab of the Base Command lets you launch Pods.
It is only accessible, if the base has a Pod Launch Pad.
It consists of two subscreens:
Contents |
[edit] Cargo Load
You can select the cargo that is loaded in the pod. Just choose the type of pod and set the cargo load in steps of 1, 10, 500, 25000 or 100000. By holding the Shift-button while clicking, the numbers are multiplied by 100.
[edit] Outfit Pod
Outfit Pods are handled differently. The same Parts Loadout Window is used as when building ships.
It is also possible to specifiy a template that is used for the loadout window. This can help you to put the right amount of Ship Parts into the pod.
[edit] Flight Plan
This lets you select the Dock Target, Drop Target and Boost Target of the pod.
As soon as you have loaded cargo into the pod you can order the pod to launch.
[edit] Clone
If you have enough cargo in your base to fill another pod with the same cargo, a Clone button appears, that allows you to launch multiple pods with the same cargo.
- Since Client 64 there are 3 different clone buttons (Clone x1, Clone x5, Clone x10).
[edit] Example
If you want to launch multiple Life Pods to different planets, you can just set the cargo load for a single life pod and then just change the boost targets of your pods by right-clicking on the planets on the map to chose them as hammer object and using the small green arrow to use the hammer object as boost target.
