Prospector Spawn Ship

Description
Updated and includes Military Variant
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1627459192

Back Story
Back in the days of the Mars Colonial wars, the main form of shock trooper deployment were single use drop pods that frequently resulted in injured troops crawling out of the pods to die in agony on the Martian soil or being shot down upon re-entry by Magnetic Rail Cannons. The solution, The Panther 707 Dropship. This nimble little ship could carry a complement of 100 troopers with munition payloads and cover the trooper with 4 Kenetic High Velocity Dual Cannons, 2 Viper 355 turrets, and a 4 drone complement. When the war ended, it was in no small part to the pilots and the Panthers they flew.

Current day
Nearly all Panther 707s were put out of commission over the next 20 years, replaced by an improved drop pod deployment system. But the three that still function have been resigned to museums and a private collector. This particular ship has a story within it's renovated hull.

Summary
Old military drop ship, stripped of it's military grade thrusters, weapons, and power supply, and renovated into a small freight hauler.

Warning
Highly detailed. I had to stop detailing it because the PCU was getting high. This ship is intended as a starter ship with only enough resources to build:

1 Arc Furnace
1 Assembler
1 Beacon
1 Battery
2 Solar Panels
I Small Cargo Container
and enough steel plates for a short tower and small platform

Features
Working Custom Landing Gear
Boarding Platform
Airlock
Med Panel
Detailed Cockpit
Crew Quarters
Server Room
Hybred Thruster System
Star Trek Impulse Drive Effect

Updated
Corrected lighting error
Corrected LCD visibility (easier on eyes)
Added missing Steel Plates and Power Cells
Added Critical Systems LCD in Airlock
Minor change in the Server Control's Button Panel

Future Updates
Looking for alternative to current lighting used for glowing Outter Ventilation effects to reduce lighting flicker

Update on WIP
- Torsion reponsive landing gear not possible (Sorry there's just no way to make it stable enough)
- Pressure valve release and heat dissipator particle effects activated upon secure landing complete
- Fully Militarized version near completion
