Ship Grapple

The ship grapple is used to lift a piece of machinery on SkyTown.

The Ship Grapple Beam is a gunship-mounted Grapple Beam that allows Samus Aran's Gunship to pick up and drop very heavy objects in the environment via a Ship Grapple Point. These objects can then be relocated for various purposes. This function is regulated by the Command Visor. While the Ship Grapple is engaged, Samus' gunship cannot complete other tasks; issuing a command will compel the ship to drop its cargo before proceeding with the assigned function.

The Ship Grapple is acquired on Elysia. It is used to assemble and deliver a Theronian bomb to drop on Elysia's Leviathan seed shield. It is also later used to relocate an inexpediently placed Energy Generator on Bryyo, and a giant Bryyonian Golem head. This is the last upgrade acquired for Samus' ship. Objects that shimmer grey can be picked up with the Ship Grapple.

Trivia[]

  • The Ship Grapple upgrade has only four uses through the course of Corruption: to repair the holo-projector in the observatory, assembling the Theronian Bomb, activating the giant Mogenar Golem, and relocating the battery found in Thorn Jungle. Once these tasks are completed it can never be used again.
  • The Ship Grapple was going to require expansions at one point during the development of Corruption. There is a reference for a "Ship Grapple Expansion" in the internal files. How it would have expanded the Ship Grapple exactly is unknown.[1]
