SPECIAL FEATURES

• Docking arms can be modified to fit many different classes of starfighters, bombers or any number of smaller craft types

STRENGTHS

• Compact solution for larger ships to increase their carrying capabilities
• Perfect for deploying large numbers of strike craft very rapidly
• Can be controlled at individual stations or by an overall control station

WEAKNESSES

• Best utilized on the ventral side of larger vessels due to nature of construction
• Larger craft decrease the number of spaces that can be used
• Only for use with craft up to shuttle-sized

DESCRIPTION
Developed with the intent to increase carrying capacity of larger starships. It is very easy to implement and use, and can be added during the construction of new ships as well as added to already produced vessels. These systems can also be utilized for non-military purposes to add shuttle capability to vessels that are hard to get in and out of atmosphere. These cannot be used for craft larger than shuttles, the size of the craft also dictates the amount of docks overall (smaller starfighters having more docks than larger craft).
