[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 2825913, member: 17691"] DRK-1X manoeuvre's the Ari's Sorrow in accordance with the escort fighters' flight plan. The probot remains weary of the space station's inhabitants' intentions and so continues to monitor all activity on or around the station via its vessel's long range sensors throughout the approach. As it floats before the navigational console, 1X slowly rotates it's scomplink probe in the computer port. In response, the remote processor transmits a command which reactivates the five med-droids. The probot instructs them to begin donning the blast vests and arming themselves with the blaster pistols they'd collected earlier. Meanwhile, the Ari's Sorrow reduces its velocity and reorients itself to match the station's rotational plane and speed. DRK-1X spots the guide-lights that appear on the station's outer ring and follow them to its designated docking port. Cutting its forward momentum the Ari's Sorrow begins banking starboard as its mag-lock docking gear extends and makes contact with the station with a dull thud which resonates through the vessel's interior. While it waits for the station's personnel to extend, connect and pressurize its docking-bridge, DRK-1X directs two of the med-droids to siphon bacta from one of the storage tanks, enough to fill three 10-litre canisters. While it remains at the helm of the Ari's Sorrow, keeping the vessel's systems active, DRK-1X keeps watch for any signs of treachery from the station's inhabitants. Meanwhile, the armed and armored med-droids stand ready to proceed with the trade once the hatch opens.[Sblock=OOC][COLOR=Gray]100 filled bacta tanks?!? Holy Moly! I figured the droids would only be able to get two or three of the things loaded. I'd found the same West End stats for the Kimo that you did, but having heard you say that it was used as a mining ship I figured the 150 Kg figure must be some system specific short-hand I didn't understand, a game-designer's lack of familiarity with the subject matter or just an out and out mistake.

I figured your measure of 50 tons might be a bit much, but probably more accurate than the 150 kg mark. ;) I don't mind the modification or addition of a cargo pod though.
