S2 - Small Shuttle

=================
Updated for Alpha 12
=================

An early game (tier 1, level 7) flexible transport shuttle that can be upgraded to tier 2 to add more weapons, warp drive etc if required.

Details:
- Airtight rear cabin with vent
- Drone hatch
- 2 x Gatling
- 8k cargo capacity with sufficient thrust to handle a full basic ore load
- 2 x Cargo container
- O2 station, Locker, Detector, Wireless
- Marked locations to add a constructor [ C ], tier 2 extender [2], ammo controller [A] and ammo container extender [X] - remove the black carbon blocks for 2, A and X.
- 4 weapon mount points - nose + under wing pylons, for eg 2 x gatling on nose, 2 x rocket on wings)

- There is space in the cabin to place a warp drive and pentaxid tank, but you will loose the cabin.
- Access to O2 and locker is also available via side hatches if the cabin contains a warp drive.

The SV small constructor has been left off to avoid the need for cobalt when initially built.

Once upgraded to tier 2 with gatlings and rockets, I have used this to take out small POIs and associated NPC/drones etc quite easily. I tend to use this mostly if finding resources for my SX1 SV is difficult, or I need something that can lift and fly early due to terrain that is poor for HVs.

I also often temporarily put a warp drive in the cabin to get access to higher tier resources in early game to build something bigger.
It can also serve as a carrier for the H2 'Rover' HV. The H2 will need to be modified to add landing pads facing forward on the front (not pretty, but works well).

Remove the rounded corners at front, add quarter round steel blocks same as those behind to extend the lower corner wall under the harvester, then add pads to these blocks vertically and facing forward. See the last image.
