Change note: Added 4 fuel tanks and arranged current fuel tanks in engineering to be less vulnerable to damage. Also added more armor on the rear under the antennas to add more protection to the warp drive.

Change note 2: Added even more armor to the back, and some cosmetic trim.

Change note 3: A few new quality of life changes were made:

- Made the rear landing pad bigger to accommodate larger SV's thanks to a suggestion by Filokwarq (removed 1 M thruster on top to allow for CPU, but don't worry, this does not affect the speed and agility of the ship in any significant way).

- Increased rear armor as a result of bigger landing pad.

- Switched placement of top-rear flak and plasma turrets to allow for better dps.

- Increased total ammo storage from 2X 96K to 2X 136K.

- Made some minor cosmetic improvements including placing the detector at the top of hangar (in front of repair console).
