Modless Boarding Ramp (Large Ship)

Description
MODLESS!

Per Request, a functioning boarding ramp for the large ship/station grid. It can be ascended without the use of a jetpack, and its angle of descent shoul be such thatthe end will remain flush with a level surface below.

Being made of larger blocks, I opted to leave out the pistons, as they would be too big to remain practical. Instead, we use only one rotor. There is a door and a timer mechanism to automatically seal the room when the ramp is closed. However, opening the ramp out of atmosphere will rapidly decompress the ship, as the doorwill open. For this reason, the ramp should only be activated out of atmosphere if you are prepared for the room to decompress!

A camera also allows views of the ramp remotely, so a pilot can see who/what is coming on or off. Forthe more militant ship, this could easily be replaced with an interior turret.

Thanks for your feedback!

Still a pretty clean design. Now we can make it even slimmer with a hinge instead of a rotor, and armor panels instead of armor blocks. Nice idea.

I made it all out of light armor. As for the structure itself, it'll be rprety versatile. The minimum requirements tro function basically consist of an arm on a rotor. It's not excessively complicated, and you could probably reproduce it pretty easily depending on what you have and what you need.

What did you make the ramp out of?
