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 it's unshielded counterpart, and will only attach to other docking ports when the shield is open. According to the 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supposed to be a lot less susceptible to heat damage while traveling through the atmosphere, but as of version 0.24.2[outdated] this isn't implemented yet.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.
Description
| “ | Invented after a peaceful protest against the lack of spacecraft attachment systems turned violent, the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port allows for the firm attachment of two separate vessels. After docking, vessels can be just as easily undocked. The Shielded version has deployable fins to protect the port during ascent. — NovaSilisko |
