THe travel is almost instant, so its really helpfull. They are great to send pawns on trade missions and also ro replenish caravans. They are quite usefull and there is a learning curve about them that I havent mastered yet. Other people use them more often, sometimes to ship resources between multiple colonies for example. I've only used them when there was a mission I wanted to complete that I probably wouldn't reach on foot within the time limit, or to send resources to a caravan that needed more foods or meds. So you use them when you can spare the resources, or the distance is too far to travel by caravan. Since they are one time use this also means if you want to return without walking you will need to build new pods and launchers and fuel them up, which isn't always viable. They are one time use pods that break apart when landing, which is a bit of a steel sink, they also require chemfuel to launch, and they can't move that much cargo. I like the idea of caravans, I haven't reached drop pod tech yet but once I saw it on the tech tree the idea of just flying instantly to wherever you need to go kind of dissapointed me.įor all I know it could be not feasible to do so due to cost or whatnot, but yea wanted to ask how and when these things are typically used?
