    This is still a work in progress, but I wanted to share what I have so far because I've been working on this design off and on for awhile. I have always wanted a proper drop ship in this game, but the docking mechanics make it frustrating to design one. However, this design works pretty well.

    This is essentially 4 CVs. The main section is designed to stay in orbit while the front section detaches for landing on a planet. SVs and HVs can be moved from the main section to the dropship when ready. The only annoying part is you have to undock the front CV first.

    I've also design multi-functional pods that attach to the side of the main ship. These let you expand the capabilities of the ship to suit your needs. They can be extra storage, hangars, gardens, etc. You can also dock the pods to each other to create a mobile base for longer planetary excursions.

    I think the real fun with this ship would be in a multiplayer setting with at least 2 players. You can actually coordinate as a crew to operate the ships together. I'm still working on the interior details (mostly textures), and I'll update with more pics when it's done. I went ahead and put it in my workshop so people can test it. I'd love for someone to try it out in multiplayer and leave some feedback on the functionality.

    Here's a video that shows the interior of the ships, and how the modular CVs work.
