Awesome.

Please note that the pod is supposed to have space for 12 soldiers and 2 UGVs.

Thanks winter,

I have make an new Pod, same measurements as that from the drop ship.
I make some renders of the pod, because I must know if the proportions are
OK, before I make more stuff in it like first aid, pipes, supplies ....

I think the chairs are too small. The size of a human as compared to the pod is shown in the image I attached.

We can't really upscale the pod. The carryall is already as big as it can be, for the base hangar tile.

Looks great! Aside from proportions issue, some comments of my own:
- Images on the monitors give an impression (for me, at least) of the craft being capable of interplanetary flight, maybe replace it with some mission briefing stuff?
- Two chairs in the front look like pilots seats, but afaik previous Heracles model showed up a separate cockpit.
- I suppose that empty space is reserved for UGVs, but shouldn't such be carried on externally mounted pods? I think that could solve the small chairs problem.

Anyway, creators have final word, until then its just my ramblings.

If the size of the human is stand up, then i think the chairs are not bad, but if you like the chairs bigger , it's no problem, I can make them a little bit bigger. the chairs are separate models so it is easy to scale them.

@Zorlen : Maybe I don't understand, but this is not a craft, its dropped by the carryall, in the front you only have the communication equipment, and detection systems in the front.
But no problem to make an other texture for it, if its simulate it can fly.

For me it's imported that I have an OK, then I can make normal, and bump maps for simulating depth for the wiring and more of that stuff on the walls ( lot of work ), before baking in the texture.

Yes, the box is a human standing up. So at most there can be 14 humans standing in a line inside the pod. Therefore, if you make the chairs so about 14 of them will fit along the wall, they'll be about right.

OK, I make them a little bit bigger, and update the shots. :)

May be it could have additional small door to side near communication post? In current way exit under fire may be complicated.

It looks great!

No, I don't think that's a good idea. It wouldn't work with the concept of the pod.

I have place player_cubes in the pod, and the chairs now have the good dimensions.

I love it (display texture notwithstanding). It's Winter's call, but as far as I'm concerned we have a winner.
