B8 Claim Beacon

2023-06-17T03:59:03Z

Lexember: Added in-game data

== Description ==
Governed by a Class-1 artificial intelligence, the B8 claim beacon broadcasts a digitally signed claim to a region of the rings. The governing AI will ensure that the beacon stays on location relative to the ring, and can process transactions to extend a claim. In event of beacon incapacitation, Triskelion-Armstrong offers free on-site replacement.

== User Manual ==

* Deploy by disabling the hardpoint and moving away.
* Creates single claim - a temporary waypoint - for a fee.
* Claim can be extended or canceled when re-visiting.
* Cradle can be refunded after deployment.
* Claim licence is tied to original hardpoint of the beacon. You can have two by installing claim beacon in another slot.
* Claim broadcasts attract attention.
* Empty cradle arm can catch drones and lifepods.

NT Mining Companion

2023-06-17T03:45:23Z

Lexember: Added in-game data

== Description ==
In the early 23rd century, a joint-venture between Nakamura Dynamics and Titan Heavy Industries produced autonomous mining drones in an attempt to automate ring excavation. While initially successful, drone swarms developed personality quirks in their neyral networks which diminished performance over time, with drones engaging in social behaviour rather than excavation. The autonomous mining project was ultimately canceled, but the drones were quietly refurnished and rebranded as Mining Companions, to be sold to independent miners.

== User Manual ==

* Deploy by powering down the arm and moving away.
* Will gather ore automatically
* Gathering parameters can be adjusted on the Geologist tab
* Returns to the station when full or low on propellant.
* When attached, grinders are synchronized with your ship.
* Empty cradle arm can catch drones and lifepods.

Cothon-217

<blockquote>Based on the Cothon-212's proven design, the 217 features an experimental variable geometry processed cargo storage, able to adapt to mission requirements on the fly by dynamically resizing the internal containers. Few of these ships were build, finding use in local operations. Her mass and reduced total cargo capacity make her unsuitable for interplanetary transport.</blockquote>

The Conlido RVM Cothon-217 "Bender" is a variant of the Cothon-212 cargo hauler. This ship's primary distinction is its variable geometry cargo hold, which allows it to make room for more than the standard capacity for a given type of ore at the cost of total cargo space. Rather than carrying a maximum of 27,000kg of each type of ore, the Cothon-217 can carry a total of 108,000kg in any combination. The Cothon-217 has a dry weight of 20,000kg more than its cousins.

== Hardpoints ==

The two rear low-stress hardpoints on the Cothon two-hundred series are limited to carrying cargo containers, drones, an [[NT Mining Companion]], a [[Point Defense Microwave Generator]], an [[NDPT-4205]], or an [[External Impact Absorber]].
