Dropship Render
The Dropship, or Transport Vehicle, delivers items that the crew ordered via the terminal.
If an employee buys items while the ship has landed on a moon, the dropship will deliver these items to that moon. If the ship is in orbit at the time of the transaction, the dropship will deliver the items to the next moon the ship lands on.
When the dropship has landed on the designated landing spot, a melody that helps the crew to locate it will be played for 30 seconds. Employees can interact with one of the four storage compartments located on each side of the exterior of the vehicle to open the doors and retrieve the items.
After 30 seconds, the ship abruptly leaves and supposedly returns to an unknown location to restock. If the crew didn't open it before that, the rocket will keep all the items and they will be lost. It is advised to quickly retrieve all the items after the ship has landed in order to not lose anything.

Strategy[]
- A maximum of 12 items can be delivered per dropship.
- Additional items cannot be ordered until the items of the dropship has been delivered and/or the dropship has left (confirmation needed).
- If items are ordered while in orbit or immediately on landing, then the dropship should start its landing process at ~8:30 AM and land ~8:45 AM.
- Assuming items are recovered ~9:00 AM, ordering items results in ~1 hour of delay.
Notes[]
- When the rocket lands , Eyeless Dogs will be attracted to the sound.
- Due to the existence of the feature listed above, players on the ship can purchase the cheapest item to land the spaceship, which plays a tactical role in guiding away Eyeless Dogs. Please note that there is a time delay between the drop ship landing and the issuance of purchase orders.
- Employees standing under the rocket when it is landing will be crushed.
- When delivering the Company Cruiser, the Dropship will play an more faster, messed up version of the default dropship music.
Trivia[]
- The tune played by the rocket is the first verse of "Turkey in the Straw", a folk song often used for ice cream trucks. This can be confused with "Do Your Ears Hang Low?", differing only at the final bar.
- During the holiday event, the delivery rocket is adorned with fairy lights and instead plays an arrangement of We Wish You a Merry Christmas in the style of the delivery rocket's normal tune.
- Any employee under the dropship will be killed when it lands.
