Nice trash can boys!!

Thanks for the pic, Chip. When you go to fit a Nox in, see if you can back it in such that it only covers a single grav plate. My hope is you can still get by it and it will then displace the minimum amount of cargo.

I would suggest leaving on the boarding ramp to see what happens but it might go boom and I don’t want to be responsible for that. Does make one wonder though, why CIG doesn’t put grav plates on boarding ramps, especially when there’s obviously room to stick stuff when closed.

BTW, like Montoya I presume a Dragonfly will not fit but I have already heard someone claim, that someone else claimed to have fit one. Makes me wonder.
I will see if I can rent a Nox, and see if I can get it inside. I have a Pulse, which I am guessing will fit easily (not sure if it will take up all the cargo grid).

The Clipper has cargo plates. And indeed, you can fit a Dragonfly, or two Hoverquads in the cargo bay. The grid is 3x2x2, so holds 12 SCU with a walkway next to the grid. I think the pods are scheduled to be 2x2x2, which as shown in the vid below, would be fine on the grid but is too large for the ramp.

My question about the Nox is because of its length, and wanting to save a couple grav plates for standard storage. I want to know if leaving the Nox half on and half off the plates will both keep it secure and allow easy access around it. I think 2, 2 SCU boxes and a Nox will all fit with plenty of room to easily access them all and move around the room. I think. Still needs testing.

I really like the 1SCU box he put in the center of the med bay. Makes a nice table. Might try that in the crafting room as well.

He notes a couple Nox will fit, and that the Nox is the fastest of the ground vehicles, but he didn’t note it has two S1 weapons ports, which makes it a serious threat, and that it has an extremely low signature—much lower that the X1.

Against infantry two Dominance laser scatterguns is a formidable loadout, especially considering the range. Against ships the range is terrible but on the ground each of the 16 pellets outclasses sniper rifles. If you recall the cave crab monster art from a few years back you know why a Nox is worth mastering.

I just watched that vid, and glad he got the NOX in. I haven't been able to get online to see what I could fit.

I am just trying to figure out how to restock the med bed?!
