Shuttle build gamemode

Currently custom shuttles take 1h to be build according to wiki, due to many factors only small minority ever tries it.

But shuttle building could be used in different way and shortened to 20 mins if whole crew worked on it. " Centcom lost an important cruiser with high ranked official in it, but his vital signs are still visible.
The signal was located inside a sector reported for syndicate activity, we managed to precisely pinpoint the position but due to spacetime distortions we wont be able to travel there in time.
We order you to move there and do everything you can to recover our president of nanotrasen itself
We have enough energy to beam you small research discs you can use to construct shuttle yourself, your engineers should be more than capable of constructing one "

basically part of crew like 10 or 15 is in syndicate base, they prepare their base while we prepare the shuttle, we would have to recover that nanotrasen official and go back
@PowerfulBacon you made the shuttle stuff, right ? Do you like the idea ?

This could work, just needs a syndicate base to be loaded in with a gigabeacon on it and then shuttles can fly to it.

Yeah thats what i had in mind

actually i made that gigabeacon before for jokes in robotics and named it silly stuff, it was wayy before shuttle designator was in game

Could be station objective.

Or, better yet, space ports with hostile mobs could spawn in other zLevels, and shuttle could be a sort of gateway with different missions.

This, I like

Or a game mode where station has to attack syndicate base;

Half of crew are NT, the other half are syndies. First to kill the enemy captain wins.
