Cothon-211

The 211 model is a version of the 212 explicitly developed for operation in the asteroid belt. Boasting the largest excavator and bay access among the series, she has found a specialization in the rings, suited to more oversized cargos and equipment retrieval that other vessels require external manipulators to handle well. -In-Game Description

The Conlido RVM Cothon-211 "Chonker" is a variant of the Cothon-212 cargo hauler. The Cothon-211 features an enlarged excavator, enabling it to capture larger objects than most other craft are capable of. While otherwise identical to the Cothon-212, some pilots find the off-center excavator to be mildly detrimental to operations and slightly annoying.

Notes

• Gimballed RCS helps substantially with maneuverability.
• The two rear hardpoints are unable to hold forward-firing weapons, only drones, side-mounted items, and PD turrets.
• The Cothon-21x series of ships only have three crew capacity, and are thus unable to have one of each role.
