The Clamp-O-Tron Shielded Docking Port is a docking port which is shielded on start and needed to be opened to be used. It is twice as heavy as the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port. It will only attach to other docking ports when 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is supposed to be a lot less susceptible to heat damage while traveling through the atmosphere, but as of version 0.23[outdated] this isn't implemented yet, so it hasn't got any real benefits over a normal docking port yet. There is a known bug of the shielded docking ports. The Shield is open, but it still says that it is "Locked"
Description
| “ | Invented after a peaceful protest against the lack of spacecraft attachment systems turned violent, the Clamp-O-Tron Shielded 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 |
