The Rocker Duo is a asteroid hauling ship that is bascially two Rockers mashed together. It is designed to be used in the safe zone and haul small asteroids. It uses two tractor beams to position asteroids into two sets of five compartments of cargo lock beams in a circular pattern so it can hold up to ten asteroids. It has load automation to approach and load asteroids in the right order as well as a material scanner that gives estimated credits for selling the asteroids.

Loading of asteroids is the slowest compared to the Rocker and Hexxer but it can hold the most asteroids (10 vs 5 or 6).

The blueprint is provided for free. All feedback is welcome and in game tips (in-game name Egomaniac) are appreciated. However support will be limited but I will try my best.

Please give the ship a "like" if you use and enjoy the ship. Designed by EGOTech. Join the EGOTech Discord server.
