About trasport pods...

[iMatrix7]

I launched 4 transport pods into an enemy settlements, but they disappeared just after landing. Do I have to walk back to my house without them?

If I want to launch again, do I have to rebuild those? :( I want a space shuttleeee damn it. :(

Yes, drop pods aren't reusable.

[brian_va]

Yes, or send enough supplies to build launchers and pods to launch back

[iMatrix7]

Oh.. too bad! For sure there is a mod for this, but that's not the right time for me to install them! :D

[brian_va]

Yeah there's at least a couple that add shuttles

[Yxklyx]

Why would they disappear?

because they are basically a chair with thrusters? their only purpose is to bring you into the action and thats it.

for shuttles there are multiple options:

-royalty lets you call in a shuttle if you're siding with the empire
-SRTS add a handful of shuttles and ships starting with a "superpod" that can land and take off on its own given enough fuel followed by legit airships. SRTS is made for planetary travel
-Save our ship 2 (sos2) expands on the vanilla gamegoal of building a ship immensly by not just put down a few components of the ship and call it a day. in this mod you can build a legit spaceship with interior and fly to other planets (as a ng+). in addition there is space combat as well

edit: got the wrong dlc mentioned

Oh right - I thought they meant that nothing was transported.
