STANDARD FEATURES
All Standard Features

ADVANCED SYSTEMS:
​N/A

Strengths:

• Plummet: Once released from the bowels of a ship, the Hel Shard plummets at extreme speed towards the planet surface and crashes into the ground, allowing the Drop-Pod to deliver troops quickly to the battlefield.
• Thick Skin: These drop pods are built to take severely heavy punishment, delivering troops safely to the ground below.

Weaknesses:

• Straight Down: These things have next to no manoeuvrability, meaning powerful Anti-air guns can easily take these things out of the sky, additionally; when landing on dangerous terrain. It's very difficult to manoeuvre away potential threats, meaning that often enough these things kill those on-board dropping into treacherous terrain.
• Open not Fire?: Hel Shards have no armaments whatsoever, this makes them easy to surround and kill the Crusaders as they exit the Drop-pod.
• Trapped: These things are a one of use type vehicle, they land and can't leave. This means that, those on-board are trapped on land until they are extracted. Retreat isn't an option when on board a Hel Shard.

Description:
The Drop pod carried a total of twenty total Brutes. The upper halves of the ship pop open, allowing the Brutes to leap from the pod and move to ground. The pod was developed based on early designs of Tathra Khaeus' own personal use of a heavily armoured ship to crash in behind enemy lines.

The pod itself serves a singular purpose, to get troops from point A to B.

Model: N/A

Should this maybe the the "Hel shard drop pod" or something similar?

Squadron Count: Average

If you'll include the amount of ships ("12") in here as well.


This is actually slightly underpowered. If you wanted to, you can raise a rating or two.

The hyperlink is under the actual image, it's the X on it. Upgraded both the squadron count and the manoeuvrability, also added a model type.

The hyperlink is under the actual image, it's the X on it.

I did see that. Per the Starship template though, we do provide the hyperlink specifically in the "Image Source" setting. It's just one of those standardized things so that we if we do need to track down the image (artist compliant, etc), we don't have to look everywhere in the submission to find it.

Rating changes look good.
