ENSONIQ5:
Sorry, my post was a bit rushed this morning!  Good on ya for joining the team Raxx, regardless of your expertise in the genre your all-round skills with modelling, animating etc. are highly regarded by all and your input will be greatly appreciated.

Arik, I am sure you have thought of this already but just in case, the armature mechanism will need to include some way of being transferred from the frame attached to the Nikola Tesla to the lander, in such as way that the 6-pack of modules can rotate to allow individual offloading onto the deck of the loader vehicle.  You might have a totally better idea on how to handle the containers, in which case let me know because I plan to start work on the lander vehicle shortly so I can finish the docking area.  Also, I love the idea of the frame-work container with the pressure tank inside, great concept and will help to break up the regularity of the containers.

Tony,

The armature idea I have has a single arm coming off of the ship's frame, and then a rotating mechanism from which 6 hinged arms branch out to each individual three-pronged grips that connect to the cargo containers.

If you wish, I can send you the 3-prong mechanisms for incorporating into the lander's hold. The core can be taken and modified into a mechanism for gripping the side attachment disks, too.
