This dedicated tug/recovery variant, made in collaboration with Triskellion-Armstrong, features a shorter, more robust frame and angled reverse thrust. Her unconventional thrust layout is well-suited for independent salvage and recovery missions. -In-Game Description

The KTA24 is a tug vessel, extremely small but still capable of mounting an ARM. Angled reverse thrust prevents thrust against objects on approach, but may lead to handling issues on some configurations. The heavily reduced cargo capacity limits usability as a mining vessel, but the shortened frame is advantageous at high speeds or in combat.
Notes
- The KTA24 is the smallest ship able to mount an ARM.
- The angled reverse thrust causes backwards acceleration while strafing.
- Its frontal RCS thrusters remain capable of thrusting against the reactor of ships grabbed by the ARM, so it's advisable to manually disable them during salvaging operations.
