Shat Rat's Salvage recently acquired this special project from Triad's SCC where it had been abandoned. The prior owner had redesigned the hull to accomodate six drives and an additional laser battery along with an expanded ventral hold. All of the original hull plating was stripped and the framework was reinforced for light hull armor. The final product would sport six drives, a pair of laser batteries (although the hull currently only accomodates one), an expanded hold, and militray grade assault scout performance. While the hull and computer are both 38 years old (the recent reinforcing takes ten years off the hull for game purposes), the trio of replacement drives are brand new. After the project passed the halfway mark the owner stopped making payments on the construction and summarily disappeared. Once it sat long enough the SCC put a lien on the vessel until finally they needed the space for paying customer. It was kicked into orbit and Shat Rat's was called to remove it.
The blueprints were included but the SCC repossessed the intended euipment that was not mounted, which included the remaining armor & hull plating, three drives, a pair of battery weapons, and the remaining under-belly framework among others. Nothing a Space Rat can't handle...
Note on remaining drives & hull plating --- if a single drive is installed on the starboard mount ADF will be 4, if three drives are added as intended ADF will be 6. Restoring the dorsal laser battery will not affect performance, however pod lasers or a second battery can be added at a -1 ADF penalty. As it stands the ship can operate with the current trio of drives but ADF will be 3 (the existing hull armor reduces perfromance by a factor of 2).
The remaining armor can be acquired through a military contractor at any Class:1 SCC for 200,000Cr along with an additional 50,000 fee, if the party opts out of this and utilizes basic hull plating for the remainder of the project then the hull points will be 22 instead of 24. The required amount of hull plating can be had for 25,000Cr or half of one hull size' worth of plating. Naturally Shat Rat's will transport the hull armor at their usual 10% rate.
