Title: TFTD Mod Request: Poseidon
Post by: KiethSomataw99 on March 06, 2021, 10:13:30 pm
I was thinking of a new submersible transport craft that serves as a decent improvement over the Triton. The Poseidon is basically the Skystriker over the Skyranger, requiring some research, mainly Ion-Accelerators and Aqua Plastics to say the least. Like the Triton, it has no weaponry as it is strictly a troop transport. But the additional engine power and the aqua plastic airframe allow this transport to reach target sites quicker. Furthermore it features 2 exits instead of one, a large 2 space exit door in front (similar to the Triton) and a small 1 space exit door on the opposite side of the hull, close to the cockpit. This allows for more flexible troop deployment. This makes the Poseidon transport quite useful as a stopgap before the Leviathan.

Description for the Poseidon:
The Poseidon is a superior assault squad transporter, with a similar size, shape, and capacity to the Triton. The Aqua Plastics Airframe and the Ion Propulsion systems allows this craft to arrive at the target quickly.

Check out this mod, maybe this would do instead.

Sorry ! Perhaps I didn't understand your request... but the Poseidon already exists in TWoTS 2_48 !
I have been using it for a long time in standard TFTD.
Or do you want a Mod to use it outside TWoTS ?

Yeah, I thought of outside TWoTS, having an improved mid-game transport sub.
