Sorry for posting so quickly about two things, but I'd like to show another creation! I've always been inspired by Halo and I love the idea of the ODSTs. I made a ship that can dock with a space station and then some time later return to anywhere on Kerbin and deploy a large squad of soldiers. This design includes a command pod along with 12 drop pods. IIRC, it's mostly stock, with anything that isn't (KW engines, cones) easily swappable for stock parts. I start releasing each individual pod from the main ship at around 4000m, and I'm working on optimizing the chute deploy heights so that the pods spend the least amount of time in the air while obviously landing safely. imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/mzVwO#0 Some random pictures from said album:
