Not safe either.
Craft designed to operate that close to the station either are berthed by the robotic arm, have a cold-gas thruster system (unbuilt HL-20/42 and the cargo vehicles studied in the 1990s), or are Russian (Soyuz/Progress).

You just have to be careful.

Cold gas is limited and still needs a pressurizer.

The way the Dream Chaser is docked, those are not cold gas jets. Neither are those cold jets (hydrazine) in the some of the other docked artifacts.

As for being careful;

The EVA suit was an air conditioning problem. The ammonia leak was the same class accident. Both involved pumping failures.

The docking arrangements and RCS disposition are completely 100% fine.

The art is more than good. It is great. Will agree to disagree about the technical details.

Thanks lads, especially Tobius; this was interesting discussion. I didn't take part in it for a reason since I'm not a rocket scientist but a guy who wants to draw ships (naval or space). I just think those problems described earlier could be handled as they are done today as TC noted (and this is an AU)...
However, I'll change a subject now:

You'll have to use GoogleTranslator in this ;)

Idea to use two types (and three models) of APC/IFV within single infantry platoon is... courageous, so to speak. :P
One rarely sees even two models of single type within a platoon, far less that.

Thanks for comments. Yeah, well the original idea was to have more firepower to platoon by bringing AMV with cheaper and numerous XA-203 APC. I agree that might be too challenging to logistics... I may have to think this through before publishing more :)

It's certainly very "interesting" Sebu

But well laid out.... Jolly well done :)
