Hey saw someone in the thread trying to make an odst drop pod (imagine its going to be attached in bulk to larger ships) theres some good pods available from the space port for people making orbital assault transports, the Wayland Egg pod is good provided your close to the planet, the Kappa pod can have a lot more placed on the hull of vessels but you will need to be literally above atmosphere for the pods not to just orbit when released, the Correlian pods good but Is quite large but can carry multiple kerbals, and the space tech.... I think that's the correct name is good as its the most easy to control. I'll upload images later, but I use the egg pod in one of my fighter craft designs the pod basically serves as the command function when the crafts damaged or about to explode the pod can survive the blast or be ejected early and still land safely. Images to come along with how I use them alongside some model kits as impromptu carriers.
