The Federation Lifeboat is an escape vessel designed to be much larger than the standard escape pod designs. This allows them at once to be much more comfortable to ride in, as well as increase survivability of those utilizing it in an emergency situation. Lacking a warp drive, in an evacuation situation the crew would have to rely on the Lifeboat's powerful subspace anteannae to call for help, but between the months of survival rations and equipment stored on board, the vessel's replenishable in situ fusion reactors, and the small replicator terminal, survivors on board could potentially survive even years if they find dueterium nebulae to refuel the lifeboat with. The Aerie Class is equipped with six such Lifeboat vessels, two of which are designated to double as auxilliary support craft for impulse range crew transport if other vehicles and transporters are unavailable.

The Mod/Copy Shuttle Vehicle is packed with features, helm and some tactical tactical controls allowing for physical flight and defensive maneuvers in combat with roleplay effects like shields, docking capability and a top escape hatch. Please note that the ship does not contain any weapons, and has a hull and shields described as 'paper thin'. It is best to take advantage of these ship's proportionally large impulse thrusters to escape danger rather than try to take a hit on the chin.
The ship includes a fully hulled physics model when in flight and landed.
Size footprint of 7M x 3.67M x 3.56M, 46 LI
Included with this vessel is a docking bay rezzer, and an external docking port that can be integrated into builds to simulate Lifeboat docking within a larger ship and/or docking to external airlock ports.
Several utilities are also included to improve roleplay usability; a landing spot that can be adjusted and used for moving the vessel between skyboxes / parking spaces / docking points and etc.
A modders kit is also included for third party skin pack and decal creation.
