In a bold move a Dublin based company, EireTech has just released their own
battle interface unit. The new unit which they call a Combat Pod has a
vastly different design philosophy than the Hikaru Systems model.
The boxy shape of the Pod is not as appealing to the eye as the Hikaru unit
but the Combat Pod has several excellent features worth noting.
All sides of the pod have been designed for ease of modification and
expansion. There are interface pads on the top and the bottom of the pod as
well as plug connections on all other sides.
This brilliant idea by the company allows for amazing modularity. It is
possible for the pod to interface with additions from multiple 3rd parties
at once. A cannon from one company can now be used with a drive system from
another, and so on.
