Unlike other ships, the Lynx has two entrances, both of which are within the ship's chassis instead of situated externally. Boarding ramps extend from the entrances and provide access when the ship has landed. | The Lynx's Large hardpoint is located on top of the middle of the ship. Its Medium hardpoints are placed in pairs on the sides; one in front not far behind the cockpit, the other in back where the hull flares outward leading to the engines. | ||
There is one Utility hardpoint located underneath the ship next to the cargo hatch; two more are located either side of the Large hardpoint, and the fourth is atop the back of the ship. | |||
