'''Shuttles''' are vehicles that can carry pawns and items. When landed on the ground, they are treated mechanically as a type of [[building]].

== Occurrence ==
Shuttles are used to collect and/or deliver pawns in [[quests]]{{Check Tag|Which?|Which quests?}}{{Check Tag|Who?|Empire only? What about cross planet combat encounters?}} and are called by the [[Titles#Call transport shuttle|Call Transport Shuttle]] permit. Empire [[faction base]]s will also sometimes{{Check Tag|Always?|Always? If not, Frequency?}} have a shuttle sitting on a floored landing zone defined by four [[ship landing beacon]]s - the shuttle will fly away soon after the player's pawns enter the map,{{Check Tag|Verify|Anecdotal reports that if you don't move from spawn, they won't fly away}} but the shuttle can be destroyed if action is taken fast enough.

If there is a functional landing pad, set out with 4 [[Ship landing beacon]]s placed in at least a 9x9 area, shuttles will attempt to land on that pad, if possible. This does not apply to [[Quests#Shuttle Crash|crashed shuttles]], which will land in a random spot on the map. Crashed shuttles only ever spawn as a result of the quest - damaging or destroying a shuttle does not create a crashed shuttle in its place. 

== Summary ==
A shuttle called by permit will transport [[colonists]], items, and [[animals]] on a one-way trip to anywhere you like within 70 world tiles. The shuttle can hold a total of 1000kg when loaded on a colony map, but as of 1.2.2900, it ignored this weight limit when called for a caravan on the world map.{{Check Tag|Quest behavior?|How does the weight limit work when used in quests? Both when collecting NPCs and when shuttling player pawns to offsite combats}}

When a functional shuttle is destroyed, it drops {{icon Small|Uranium}} 50 [[uranium]] + {{icon Small|Plasteel}} 50 [[plasteel]] + {{icon Small|component}} 4 [[component]]s + {{icon Small|Steel slag chunk|16}} 4 [[Steel slag chunk]]s. Crashed shuttles, when deconstructed, yield {{icon Small|Plasteel}} 35 [[plasteel]] + {{icon Small|Steel}} 20 [[steel]] + {{icon Small|Component}} 5 [[component]]s when deconstructed.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.1.2563|1.1.2563]] - Now avoids landing on crops.
* Possibly 1.3.3066 - Plasteel yield increased from 35 to 50.
* [[Version/1.3.3066|1.3.3066]] - Shuttles leave 50 uranium instead of 100 steel when killed. Refactored shuttles into generic Transport ships. These ships follow a series of jobs which can be controlled by quest logic, UI, and Lords. Transport ships are tracked while flying, loading, unloading, etc.
