ISL - Medium Cargo Trailer

DISCLAIMER: These ships/rovers are designed for PC, with scripts. they will work without them, but some functionality (eg. advanced wheel control, automated mining and shuttle routes, etc.) and fancy LCD readouts will be missing.

Purpose

The MCT fits five medium cargo containers, a basic hydrogen system (one generator and one engine), batteries and solar power, greatly extending the utility of any vehicle attached to it.

There are hinges at the front and rear that function as tow hitches, allowing connections to either trucks or other trailers. As this is not designed as an autonomous vehicle, each trailer is controlled primarily through the use of labeled buttons, although an RC block is still present. Check the "Movement & Control" section for a list of the buttons and their functions.

The trailer is designed for use with the ISL - Lakan RC-630a or RC-700b Medium Truck. The tow hitch is compatible with the other vehicles listed below, however they may struggle to move it with a full cargo.

The vehicles that are compatible with this trailer include:
1. ISL - Iktis RO-100a Light Truck
2. ISL - Iktis RO-130b Light Truck
3. ISL - Ratel RO-720 Excavator
4. ISL - Marten RO-520 Excavator
5. ISL - Marten RO-520 Excavator (no DLC version)
