Developed in the late 21st century and no longer in production, the Conlido RVM Cothon-212 is an interlunar cargo hauler. While it boasts impressive cargo space, with a robust external frame that doubles as Faraday cage, the interplanetary-first design is not well suited for a ring environment. Exposed low-temperature radiators are notoriously fragile, pylon-based thruster layout makes maneuvering challenging and a converted lifepod serves as a cockpit, limiting crew capacity. -In-Game Description
| Make | Conlido RVM |
|---|---|
| Low-Stress | 4 |
| Crew | 3 |
| Dry mass | 83,700 kg |
| Cargo bay | 260 m^3 |
| Processed cargo | 27,000 kg |
| Hull Length | 54.4 m |
| Hull Width | 28.9 m |
| Min. Cargo Bay Width | 3.6 m |
The Conlido RVM Cothon-212 was originally an automated cargo ship, and has been refitted with a modified lifepod as a cockpit. The size and mass, combined with limited thruster mounts make the 212 a notoriously slow craft. Many pilots rely on nanodrones and point defense to reduce the amount of maneuvering required.
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.
