The Clamp-O-Tron Shielded Docking Port is a docking port which is shielded on start and needs 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is supposed to be a lot less susceptible to heat damage while traveling through the atmosphere, but as of version 0.24[outdated] this isn't implemented yet, so it doesn't have any advantages over the Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port, aside for its appearance. In fact, it is slightly less useful because it can not be connected to other docking ports during assembly, along with having twice the mass and over 40% higher price than 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 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 |
