Universal Air Dock
Trans Travel released this useful concept
of a universal docking collar. It allows any two ships thus equipped to
dock and allow their crews to access each vessel without the need for
space suits. The collar portion extends past any extensions of the
starship to connect with the other vessel's own collar, and the two
interlinked air locks are then pressurized to allow easy access between
ships. The telescopic portion of a UAD may also connect to a non-UAD
craft presuming the hull is smooth and flat around the hatch, otherwise
the usual spacewalking rules apply. Cost is 10,000Cr with a MHS=3.
