[Spaceships] Does Soft Landing system require a Control room?

[adimar]

Hi all.
I have a couple of questions regarding the Soft Landing system.
1) If I want to drop a drop pod in specific coordinates does it need a Control room? or does the soft landing system provide guidance?
2) Can the drop pod be non-streamlined?
3) Streamlined atmospheric craft need to have at least one armor system in their front or center section. (Spaceships 1, page 10). Does the pod has to have any armor systems? (This is relevant for cargo pods)

p.s. This is the Meteor Drop Pod (TL9,SM+4)
This craft is used by the Imperial marines to drop a 10 man infantry squad into contested LZs.
