Dartz Wrote:Severstal his multiple docking rings - compatible with Soyuz spacecraft, or similar collars. Two modified items are used as shuttlecraft. The entire control centre can also be ejected and used as an emergency lifeboat if necessary.Since the docking ring on the ISS is also compatible with Soyuz spacecraft, and every Artemis supply ship is compatible with the ISS, and every StellviaCorp and Artemis station is compatible with Artemis supply ships, this means Severstal can dock at Stellvia, Odyssey, or Ultima...
Come to think of it, I do recall some chatter about a possible "standard docking ring" in early (pre-wiki) Fenspace threads. It would make sense for the standard docking ring to be compatible with the docking ring on the ISS... so Severstal can dock pretty much anywhere.
Cue heavy-lift of steel from Hephaestus to Bristol, or grain from Serenity Valley to Helium, or un-'waved cars from St. Petersburg to Kandor...
