The Type 48 is a short/medium range cargo transport designed for the civilian market.
This craft has 6 integral bays which are set up for individual crew accommodations; making it an ideal choice for extended duration supply runs. These bays can be retrofitted for additional cargo space or ship systems, at the expense of crew living space.
The base model is unarmed but with the proper licensing and modifications, it can mount light armaments.
Under the main bays, there is a cargo rack system that can retrieve and store up to 4 light cargo modules. There are 2 "pickup-cams" installed on the racks and centered with the pickup points to assist with cargo retrieval. Line up the targeting sight with the rail docker of the pod and fly forward slowly to pick it up. There is also a mechanism to limit pickups to 2 pods per side to prevent overloading. The Factory installed pods are 9x9x5 and have doors that are lined up with the doors on the lower deck of the ship. The ship-side doors open automatically when a pod is docked. Due to space constraints, the pod-side doors must be operated manually.
Inner-ship remotes allow for the release of any specific pod or all four of them at once. To prevent the pods from being pushed away once released, it is recommended to fire your ventral thrusters (fly upward) after releasing a pod.
The Type 48 is Universal Serial Dock Compatible and comes equipped with 2 airlocks with rail dockers. The ship will automatically open both the interior and exterior doors of the airlock on the side it docks with. Upon docking, the ship's engines and exterior lights will power down. The engines and lights will re-activate when undocking.
