For when you have more than one ship and want them to work together.

• Tow coupler - a tug pulls a barge platform along its route, so the barge doesn't need engines of its own.
• Convoy beacon - platforms flying together keep the same speed and cover each other, up to 45% less damage.
• Orbital depot and depot uplink - a storage in orbit that fills the hub requests of platforms parked nearby.

To see a tow in action, type /tug-test on a test map: it builds a tug and a heavy barge at Nauvis and tows the barge to Vulcanus.

Буксир тянет баржу по её маршруту, конвой летит с одной скоростью и прикрывает друг друга (до 45% меньше урона), орбитальный склад снабжает платформы на орбите. Команда /tug-test показывает буксировку на тестовой карте.
