Special Features:
- Extended life-support systems for long hauls in space
- Modular lower deck; this can be converted into science labs, cargo holds, passenger space, a medical bay, living quarters, or even a taco stand. These rooms could even be gutted and used to hold improved shields, stronger weapons, bigger engines, and so on. If used for Passengers, the duration of the life-support system's sustainability is reduced appropriately. If used for cargo, the speed and maneuverability can be dropped each to a 12 if the cargo is heavy enough.

Cargo: 800 tons (unmodified)
Hyperdrive: 3 (unmodified) Backup: 10
Consumables: 1 year (unmodified)
Strengths:
++Highly modular; this ship can be changed to suit the needs of the buyer. Its adaptability is astounding
++Easy to repair: the parts are cheep, durable, and know how to take abuse. But in the off chance it breaks down, repair is pretty easy.
++Extended life support: for those long ventures into space.
Weaknesses:
--Just because you can doesn't mean you should. That's how my mother used to put it. Just because you can add it on, doesn't mean its a wise idea.
--Shoddy craftsmanship: While this vessel is built beautifully, that doesn't mean the modifications will be.
--Not built for combat: while this ship could be bulked up with armaments to become combat-worthy, its not built for this. The amount of time and money spent to do this would be equal to buying a new ship.
Description:
James recognized the vast number of ships out there that, and the many people of the galaxy who wanted and needed something that would fill their average needs. Whether its ferrying people from one side of the galaxy to the other, hauling freight, exploring the Unknown regions, smuggling, or just traversing the galaxy, this ship is designed to be adaptable to every need that could arise. These parts do not come included, of course. Sporting light armaments to fight off most pirate attacks, but not enough to draw undue attention by the authorities, this ship is often favored by the smuggling class of the galaxy.
Two decks comprise this vessel. The upper deck is predominated by the unmodifiable portions of the vessel; crew quarters, consumables, cockpit, computer terminals, and technical parts. This was done intentionally; if the ship was modified to be a passenger ship, then the last thing any captain would want is a toddler throwing a hydrospanner in the reactor core.
The Lower deck can be modified to fit most any need that exists. This is the main selling point of this vessel, even over its ease of repair and durability. The options are not unlimited, of course, reasonableness is required. As James explained to his mechanics during the conception phase of the vessel; 'even a blank slate has edges and limits to what ye can write on it.'
Due to the extreme modularity of this vessel, it is recommended that each ship be subbed as an individual ship into Chaos cannon
Development Thread: If needed
Intent: To make a modular ship that can be used in the Role Play community that each individual player can alter to their own needs.
