Grand-Polaris_GS

Upgraded Grand-Polaris with more guns! A lot more combat armor! I think of it as a sort of merchant marine, it is substaantially more combat capable than the standard Grand-Polaris (GP) the GS after the name stands for GunShip.
The SV and HV bays are considerably enlarged. New man door entrances at the top of the HV ramp and at the sides of the ship.
The ship is multirole capable. Explorer- certainly, makes a very nice explorer vessel. High combat survivabilty compared to older version, though not intended as a warship. Seat/pilots chairs for every gun turret mounted. Med bay between the forward cockpit and the garden, right above the crew quarters. The captain now has personal quarters which may only be entered from the main bridge.
The captains quarters are not as luxurious as the VIP quarters, but the electronics suite is impecable! If needed the captain can take over control of the ship from his private pilot console, this effectively also makes his quarters the unofficial battle bridge.
Have added viewing areas just above the main engines in the rear of the ship, one for VIP passengers, another for the steerage types.
Vip quarters are spacious with view of the SV dock ( to make sure their small vessels are being properly taken care of ) from the main cabin, a bedroom with private viewing port of the stars, and another viewing port looking down on the spacious 48 plot garden so they might decide just which fresh food they want tonight for supper. Private elevator to the garden is also available to the VIP if they wish to dine outside of the cabin provided. There is also a private port to the exterior of the ship for the VIP to get to the external SV doc if needed.
The steerage cabin has benches and bunks, shared toilets and showers. The breathable air is supplide through vent plate from the hanger area. The elevator to the hanger is locked at all times and used by crew to stock the T1 fridge with prepackaged meals so these customers do not have to leave the cabin they are quartered in. Steerage passengers are expected to be quiet and respectful at all times. Passenger privledges can be revoked at any time of the rules are not obeyed and offenders from steerage will be put off the ship if it is deemed necessary to keep order in the steerage ares of the ship. Since there is a port directly from steerage to the outer hull of the ship it will not be necessary to leave or slow standard travel in any way to accomodate said disruptive persons when they are removed from the ship.
Down thrust has been substantially increased so that verticle take offs are much more practicle than before. The cargo capacity is also increased, this opens the possibilty of being a merchant vessel, or perhaps with the guns blazing a pirate ship if you lean towards the darker side!
