Line 6:
Several CRATEs can be wired together by connecting the "down" end of the grammeters with a lurtium-ammulite alloy cable loop to increase the mass limit; however, this practice has diminishing returns, to a theoretical maximum limit of 85 million metric tons. This limit has not been reached yet, as chaining together more than a handful of CRATEs can become prohibitively expensive, and it becomes more economically viable to simply send several smaller ships rather than one large one.
