The Inline Clamp-O-Tron is a docking port on the side of the vessel. Until version 0.20 it was named Hull-mounted Clamp-O-Tron. Like the Clamp-O-Tron Shielded Docking Port it must be opened before docking.
Usage
It allows other parts to be placed on either side, so that the craft can maintain a streamlined profile, and also allows the crew move trough. It is not so durable as the Mk2 Clamp-O-Tron, and has the same empty weight, doesn't have monopropellant tank built in, so in case of building an Mk2 fuselage based craft, that is more preferable to use.
