MTF ODYSSEUS Landing Combat Ship

Description
Marine frigate for orbital and planetary assault.

Carries and resupplies personel and vehicles.

The Odysseus is the long awaited replacement for the Argonaut class, done in a collaboration effort with Aegis Systems Military. This new ship carries IFVs, dropships, shuttles and drop pods in a compact and less expensive package, easily becoming a good base of operations for a small expeditionary force, since it can do handholding jumps with smaller large grid ships that lack jump drives themselves, using the MTF jump ring module and the protruding airlock collars she comes equipped with.

***INSPIRATION*** (in the honest way)
This type of ship is very well known in sci-fi works, sometimes known as "fast assault transport" in some movies, shows or books. The direct inspiration for this one was the assault carriers from Gundam and many other japanese mecha anime and videogames (Assault Suits Valken - the Versis) Also is worth mentioning that in practice, this vessel has the same role as the USS Sulaco from Aliens and the MCRN Scirocco from The Expanse.

Ahh, ok hehe. Is a mission specific module. The current one is a CAS module designed by Mike Angel to destroy ground vehicles. The idea is to make more with different mission profiles, like medical, drop pods, guided missiles, etc.

My bad, poor grammar at 2 am lol. The drop pod thing already attached, what is its purpose?

I am not sure what you mean by "the drop". This vessel can carry small dropships in it's bay, but it is a planetary lander by itself.

What does the drop do???

@woostyboy I intended those to tow my range extender jump drive ring but a friend also told me about using them for towing small large grid gunships or patrol boats. I should definetely look into developing that feature. Thank you for reminding me!

Can also be used to tow using the merge blocks at the back if you wanted to... ;)
