Module that utilises a form of cathodic protection to temporarily protect a ship's hull from corrosion. Corroded material is diverted to an insulated container which can be ejected.
— In-Game Description
The Caustic Sink Launcher is a utility module that can be used to temporarily protect a ship's hull from caustic damage. The Caustic Sink Launcher is identical in appearance to the Heatsink Launcher.
Usage[]
The Caustic Sink Launcher will automatically remove caustic damage from the equipped ship and absorb future caustic damage until the loaded caustic sink is full. The expended caustic sink must then be manually ejected before a new caustic sink can be loaded and absorb more caustic damage.
Caustic sinks can be restocked at Starports, or via Synthesis.
