The Caterpillar XL is a standalone space elevator with up to 3kt lift capacity on Alioth. There are no tall elevator shafts required for this platform, and you can place it anywhere; all it needs is a flat pad to land on. The sophisticated code running the Cat XL will keep it in a straight line from the ground to your space station and back, with minimal deviation.
Set your base station & space station altitude in the Lua parameters, then all you need to do is turn it on and press the button on the on-screen menu for where you want to go. You can still take manual control of the craft if you need to make any adjustments.

I love it! A delight to use. But with Level4 Atmospheric and Space handling and placement skills I failed to lift 2.8kT, then succeeded to lift 2.4kT. Perhaps I need more engine warmup skills so the space engines kick in quicker.

I have been using one for many months, just build my second one. For me these are the standard of regularly moving cargo from and to the surface of a planet. The software is awesome, the support is great. Will buy more!

@verdaa I needed to disable friend requests on my discord because I was getting too many. My messaging is open though, so anyone should be able to DM me.

Amazing what people are able to produce! Special thanks to USAG over on the Shadow Templar Discord for all the work and support with the setup process! Love the product so far and look forward to easily hauling to and from Alioth without fear or flight preparation!

Absolutely fantastic piece of equipment, makes getting into space extremely easy. The customer support is also top notch, USAG came out to my base to help troubleshoot a docking issue and went above and beyond to make it work. The software that it comes with works spectacularly and receives continued support from the sellers. 10/10 would recommend

Edit:: You need to join the discord server to ask to buy one.
the support, once there is fantastic.
I will point out that this particular model is made with basic space engines and as such, i struggled to take 2.2KT to space from alioth. its fantastic overall though, its so much better than a laggy tower in the sky waiting to take out someones ship

The discord account has privacy settings meaning you cant add the seller to ask to buy one.
so far no reply for my ingame add. not impressed so far
Sketti
