Hardpoint

Standardized equipment mounts of most civilian ships in 23th century allow wide variety of equipment to be mounted into any ship - provided it has power required to operate it.

Mining ships typically mount railguns, coilguns, lasers or microwave systems for their job, but hardpoint can be used to attach exotic equipment like drones.

Hardpoints are used to modularly mount equipment.
