The '''Clamp-O-Tron Shielded Docking Port''' is a variant of the [[Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port]] which is shielded on start and needs to be opened before it can be used. It is twice as heavy as its unshielded counterpart, and will only attach to other docking ports when the shield is open. According to its description, it is supposed to be a lot less susceptible to heat damage while traveling through the atmosphere, but as of version {{Check version|0.24.2}} this isn't implemented yet. It currently has no practical advantage over the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port. | The '''Clamp-O-Tron Shielded Docking Port''' is a variant of the [[Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port]] which is shielded on start and needs to be opened before it can be used.

The Clamp-O-Tron Shielded Docking Port is a variant of the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port which is shielded on start and needs to be opened before it can be used. It is twice as heavy as its unshielded counterpart, and will only attach to other docking ports when the shield is open. According to its description, it is supposed to be a lot less susceptible to heat damage while traveling through the atmosphere, but as of version 0.24.2[outdated] this isn't implemented yet. It currently has no practical advantage over the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port.
