Cogmap1/Pod Bay

The engineering podbay

Pod Bays are areas where the space pods can be docked.

There are several pod bays on the station and one on the mining outpost.

• Market - Also known as the main hangar. A large bay designed for pod construction. Consequently, most of the equipment required to construct pods is found here, primarily the ship component fabricator and associated resources. Access is not restricted. Nanotrasen was generous enough to provide the station with two unarmed light pods and three miniputts.

• Security - A small bay with two heavy pods and a crate containing a couple of weapons arrays.

• Cargo Bay - A large bay containing a light pod for the quartermasters along with a spare cargo module. The cargo bay has its own ship component fabricator.

• Engineering - A small bay above the engine room. Contains space suits, magnetic boots and internals.

• Catering - A small bay just north of tool storage. Contains a supply delivery dock as well as request console, some basic tools, a cargo hold upgrade and a light pod.

• Science - A small bay connected to artlab. Contains a mechanical toolbox and some artifacts. Ostensibly intended for artifact delivery.

• Mining Outpost - A small bay inside the asteroid where the mining outpost is located. Contains a ship component fabricator, two pods with industrial-grade armour along with basic upgrades for both (rock drilling rig, plasma cutter, Conclave A-1984 sensor system) and some welding supplies for repairs.

• Escape Arm - There are two escape pods of the miniputt variant on each side of the escape arm. These four pods are custom-built from random bits and pieces left over in the hangars to make sure escapees are carried away from the confines of the station. Unlike regular miniputts, the escape pods all have autopilots and no speed limiters. They may reach a higher top speed than any other civilian vehicle. Due to the low number of escape pods versus the large crew count, they are in high demand when the time comes to evacuate.
