[Spaceships] statting life pods and drop capsules

[Agemegos]

On p.232, Ultra-Tech includes operational descriptions and basic stats for three models of one-use disposable re-entry vehicles.

• There is the "life pod", which has a loaded mass of only a single ton, but carries four people and 400 lb of supplies, has a little manoeuvring capability, and chamaeleon surface etc., and is capable of a soft landing.
• There is the drop "capsule", which weighs a ton, must be launched from a vehicle bay or missile launcher on a trajectory that will de-orbit it, carries two people and 600 lb of stuff, disintegrates a mile up in the air, and costs only $10,000.
• There is the stealth capsule, which is like the drop capsule but carries only one person, and has radar stealth, sensor jammers, and IR and radar decoys.

Ultra-Tech was written well before Spaceships, so naturally the drops capsule &c. were not designed using Spaceships. But they are as sort of space vehicle, and Spaceships is impressively flexible. How close can we come to reproducing the function of these things using Spaceships? Can we make things that do their job better, faster, or cheaper?

Note well that the life pod is TL9, and that the drop capsule and stealth capsule are TL10.
