Truly standalone now, in that the code has been refactored to a new namespace.
It should be possible for it to exist alongside SRTS Expanded (continued), but this hasn't really been tested.
If you are using Odyssey, I highly recommend using the version linked above. (The shuttles in this version currently cannot reach orbit. As an Odyssey-specific version of this mod exists, I might skip trying to fix this. At any rate, low priority.)
Additional note: technically, ANY DLC can access the shuttle system, but I have not fully tested this mod without Royalty. Also, there's no way to specify "any DLC" as a pre-req. I did load it without Royalty and with the other DLCs active and no errors were thrown. No guarantees.

Original mod notes (1.5):
With this mod you will be able to build and use a space transport shuttle.
Now without SRTS Expanded requirements!
The shuttle is meant to be a late game transportation tool, so getting and building one is pretty difficult.
1. First you need a techprint. It can be bought from the Empire. Or you can get it as a quest reward. Or just steal, if you're lucky enough.
2. From the blueprint, you will be able to obtain the data necessary for the research project.
3. Collect the right amount of resources, build a shuttle, refuel it with chemical fuel, and go flying!
Using shuttle technology and data derived from autonomous space drones, you will be able to create a transport version of a space drone.
It is not as heavy as a shuttle, but much faster and more economical on chemical fuel.
By studying mechanitors technology, it became possible to build a transport version of their ancient ship. Thanks to the successful layout of the cargo compartment and fuel tanks, their capacity is much higher than that of a common shuttle.
However, this comes at the cost of increased fuel consumption.
