[Cargo Shuttle Blueprint] MEC VCS-2 'Flavopilosa' Passenger Shuttle

Description
Sharing most of the basic external structure of the VCS-1 'Atropilosa' light freighter, the VCS-2 'Flavopilosa' scraps its predecessor's bulky cargo bay in order to provide a more powerful communications array and accomodations for up to 12 passengers. The spill-resistant coffee machine, which can be found just below the observation cupola, has been touted as the craft's most impressive feature. Most of the interior passenger space can be custom tailored to suit the needs of individual customers.

VCS-2 shuttles are commonly seen buzzing between stations, quickly carrying personnel to wherever they need to be using the MEC's tried-and-true VCOIL engines.

I wanted a passenger craft to mix in with my cargo shuttles for aesthetic reasons, so I put this together by kitbashing the original VCS-1. The VCS-2 'Flavopilosa' is exactly 200 blocks. It is named for Vespula flavopilosa, the yellow-haired yellowjacket, which is a pollinating species of wasp native to the northeastern U.S. and Canada.

Screenshots (besides the auto-generated preview image) show shuttles at true scale - when you use this blueprint to produce shuttles, that's the level of detail you can expect from the final product.

This ship is intended for use as a cargo shuttle blueprint, as it lacks the critical ship components necessary for player control.

This was designed as a (civilian) cargo shuttle rather than a boarding crew shuttle, although you can use it for that if you like. MEC will be getting a dedicated boarding shuttle in the near future, along with a 6-8 slot boarding vessel.
