The Inline Clamp-O-Tron is a docking port on the side of the vessel. Like the Clamp-O-Tron Shielded Docking Port, it must be opened before docking.

Product description
“ | The Inline Clamp-O-Tron was an accidental invention, created after an engineer (who really should have been wearing his glasses) incorrectly interpreted the Shielded Clamp-O-Tron's blueprints. Still, the rest of the team very much liked the idea of a sideways-pointing docking port with its own aerodynamic shell, so he patented the design. He still refuses to admit it wasn't intentional. — Found lying by the side of the road |

Usage
The Inline Clamp-O-Tron is placed inline with a rocket stack, instead of on its top or side. It allows other parts to be placed on either side. so that the craft can maintain a streamlined profile.
It is inferior in most aspects to the Mk2 Clamp-O-Tron; it has a lower impact and heat tolerance, has the same dry mass, and doesn't come with a built in monopropellant tank. When building an Mk2 fuselage based craft, the Mk2 Clamp-O-Tron is more preferable to use.
When the shell is closed, the port can't do anything, to dock, the player must open it. After it's opened, it can dock with a Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port
When docking using the Inline Clamp-O-Tron, players should use the "Control From Here" function to ensure that the controls and navball are effected relative to the docking port itself.
Trivia
- Until version 0.20, this part was named Hull-mounted Clamp-O-Tron.
