Mercury 708 B "Ascension"

Description
The "Ascension" iteration of the Mercury is a full featured light combat vessel, although the term "light combat vessel" is a bit of a misnomer; as although it is a lightly armored class 5 vessel, it more than makes of for its relative fragility with excellent maneuverability. armored and rear placed core and scattered generators make this a great option for offensive roles.

Thank you all for your kind words. @Tom21, yes the decension can be a bit of a pain to park. I am working on a fix, I orginailly designed it to be as tight a fit as comfortable so as to minimize the appearenceof a lopsided circle within a circle.

May I suggest, line it up with it's dock, slowly move it in sideways, and then once centered, push it against the ceiling to dock. to get it out, drop enough to undock it, then rotate it 90 degrees to the CV and fly straight out.

@lyos Thank you! and yes the hanger is unfortantually a bit cramped, I meant for it only to be used for a small HV and for the circular bay to be used for a dropship.

Hangar is a bit small, but I really like it some good ideas - nice design mate
