Well, I have yet to work out a decent grappling mechanism for the dropship. My first version was way to bulky. I can’t seem to get it right, I was actually hoping for suggestions and the idea from the community.

You may want to try a three-point arrangement of magnets. For cargo that size, three magnets apiece ought to be sufficient, if you space them judiciously.

If you can’t, then four should keep it plenty stable.
