I am heading out on my vacation today and won't been seen for a week. I thought before I go I'll leave this idea.

Since so many people haul passengers with their Trains, why isn't there a cargo pod designed specifically for passenger transport? Really, it could have nifty little windows and such.

Just an interesting thought for you modders out there before I leave...

Also...instead of the typical explosion sound when a pirate destroys the pod we can have screams of terror...and instead of metal projectiles....whoa im getting to into this...

I'm agreeing with both ideas:P

EDIT: Didn't Jinx alread design a shed-load of custom cargo pods already? I thought I saw a thread full of em a while back

They should also have a big sign on the side that says "Classic Crete Dining"

And that is why the corsairs are scarier than the outcasts.

But passenger cargo pods are a cool idea.

yes, Jinx did make some examples of this and other custom cargo pods, but has since taken down the pictures of them.

Do a search for "Cargo Pods" in the dev forum and you'll find the thread.

It was a really good idea unrealized

I really like that idea. Right now when I do transport any, I put them in those big white pods. They're, uh, "themed".

I'd also like to see a biohazard warning pod. You know, for alien organisms, pharmaceuticals, and possibly nomad-infected passengers bound for Crete.

Yellow cargo containers have radiation/biohazard symbols on them.

Anyhow, i think in addition to more pod types... we need more ships designed to use these pods. I like the customization factor that the pods give, but when the only ships you can use them on are transports and trains, both of which are horribly ugly ships... yea, kinda takes away from the coolness.

The Yellow pods have radiation warnings, which is great and for the most part acceptable for such things, but I thought I'd throw that out while we were making suggestions.

I certainly agree with you Tenacity, more ships with cargo pods would be great. Like if the Kusari Transport had two instead of the big H-Fuel part.
