====== Shuttles ======

My small fleet of shuttles and landing craft for **Full Thrust** are now painted, and I should have enough for a sizable invasion force. There are some large jump capable shuttles, designed for ferrying troops and equipment between star systems, as well as smaller [[../ft/shuttles|shuttles]] to ferry troops down to the surface from larger vessels.

The smaller craft are treated similar to fighters - they don't use vectored movement, and can be destroyed with a single hit rather than tracking damage. Most of these models are old //Ground Zero Games// models which are no longer listed on their website.

The photos show the landing craft approaching orbit around some small worlds - a frozen, rocky moon and a small desert world with a thin atmosphere.
