Starbase Cargo Airlock
[9 prims]
This airlock is designed for loading and unloading cargo, freight and bulky equipment on and off your starbase or space station. This airlock adds an extra level of authenticity to your starbase. It can be connected to any of the other Exosphere starbase modules with just a touch and gives you controlled access into or out of your base.
Features includes:
- Fold-opening airlock cargo platform gate & door
- Lighting and sound effects
- Viewing windows
- Animated tech display
- Lockable by owner
- Interior access door
- Rich textures
- Low Prim
There is a large loading gate that opens on touch or by voice command. As it opens, the gate folds out and deploys itself as a loading platform which you can use access any delivery craft waiting outside. When your crates and other equipment is safely inside the airlock, you can close the outside loading doors and they will reseal the airlock, folding back up into a triangular gate.
Once inside the airlock, you'll see a tunnel-shaped wall. Touch this and it will slide slowly across, sealing off the exterior doors while at the same time, opening up the internal airlock door that provides you with access through to the rest of the starbase.
The side walls have two viewing portholes on the sides along with animated technical display panel and notices at the airlock wall.
The airlock owner can optionally lock or unlock the external cargo doors by simply using a 'long-touch', i.e. touching and holding for a couple of seconds.
The unit is richly textured and has a very low prim land impact. This prop is an excellent functional tool for your starbase and for sci-fi role play and it's built with the usual Exosphere quality.
Here's an idea.. why not put one next to the Warehouse Storage Sphere? Or use in conjunction with the Crew Airlock?
- Join modules together by touching their bulkhead door frames
- sliding controlled access doors
- Sound and lighting efffects
- Animated tech display panels
- Detailed textures
Love this
Looks great, used this as a backdrop for a video even, just don't let your romantic partners throw each other out the thing... heh
Looks good
We've had a few scenes about people getting blown out the airlock or smuggling into the station and this module is perfect with it's doors and industrial look
A Unique Module
I don't think anyone else makes anything specifically for the purpose this is designed for. The airlock door works in an interesting manner that adds a lot of interest to this module. I do agree with the review before mine about a landing pad helping, but since the maker doesn't know what ship you'd be using it for, I can't fault this for not having one. I pulled the pad off the terminal module and sized it to use as well as dropping in a docking script so my main cargo ship will position itself properly when clicked. This one pretty much does only one thing, but it does it quite well.
Great for those bulky deliveries
The one thing I'd suggest here for future versions is a landing platform to make getting into position for emptying your ship's hold easier. But if you can throttle back your ship's speed for a careful approach, this is a doable entrance. Doors lock for security, and the slider internal seal door is excellent.
