Ostranauts – Quick Ship Reference

The objective of this guide is to serve as a concise and expedient resource for ship identification within the boneyard. Upon locating your vessel, you may proceed to access it in the editor to experiment with your personalized configurations.

Inspection Pod

A diminutive vessel specifically engineered for the close scrutiny of space stations and larger spacecraft. It accommodates only a single individual, albeit without much comfort.

Katydid

The Katydid, an exceptionally compact spacecraft featuring an airlock and environmental system, has been ingeniously engineered using MSS components to minimize its weight. Moreover, its final design was further reduced in size after a perceptive engineer identified the possibility of combining the life support and RCS intake regulator into a single O2 canister.

SalvagePodSmall

One of several compact tugboats manufactured by Ryokka under the agreement with Ayotimiwa. The Ryokka TU series vessels enjoy widespread popularity and high demand at the OKLG Boneyard, owing to their exceptional performance for independent space travelers and relatively advantageous mortgage terms. There are speculations suggesting that the company might possess numerous brand-new TU models stashed away in a concealed hangar, possibly as a tactic to artificially limit their availability.

SCI

In the realm of transport logistics, the Testudo-manufactured standard-sized shipping container, typically found stacked on colossal cargo liners, follows an intriguing operational procedure. These containers, known as “intermodals,” are propelled on ballistic trajectories across The System, courtesy of small tugs. The objective is for them to be intercepted at their intended destination by a second tugboat. This approach allows a relatively modest fleet of small tugs to transport a significantly larger cargo load compared to a conventional freighter. However, it’s worth noting that this method comes with the trade-off of extended delivery times, spanning weeks to months, as opposed to the much quicker delivery timeframes of hours to days.

SCI Retrofit

A conventional freight container modified with the essential equipment required for interstellar navigation between spatial locations. In case the starting or destination point lacks breathable atmosphere, or if the journey exceeds 15 minutes, it is advisable to utilize an Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suit. Although this setup may be perceived as perilous, it does offer cost-effectiveness.

UtilityPod

The Testudo Melody exhibits certain resemblances to the Ryokka TU-77a salvage pod. However, it distinguishes itself by having external batteries, canisters, intake regulators, and RCS thrusters. This enhanced design renders it a more proficient spacecraft compared to the widely-used Ryokka model. Nevertheless, due to the location of these components on the exterior, maintenance becomes more intricate, especially when lacking an Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suit.
