Strengths:
- Skeleton Frame - While the more hardened areas, protecting mechanisms and offices, are shielded, the rest is just bare bones. This makes it slightly harder to target from long range.
- No Armaments - The Station is virtually undefended, excluding shielding and blast doors for lockdown procedures
The KDY Drydocks are not intended to operate alone. While they serve their purpose well, they are bare bones in the way that they do not have their own power supply and run off external sources. However, this is not a flawed design. After the Drydock arms are in place and holding various ships, they serve no other purpose. The arms lock into place and can not be moved without the lockdown being lifted. It is a cheaper alternative and also uses less resources and brings the skeleton frame into action of protecting itself from inaccurate long range weaponry. The KDY Drydocks are intended for the future Orbital Array for maintaining and repairing, or sometimes salvaging or scuttling, ships docked within them.
