Starfury - Muskrat

Description
Design inspired by the "Muskrat" Heavy Starfury from the Sci-fi show Babylon 5. It was seen briefly in the season one episode "A Voice in the Wilderness (Part 2)".

Other than the cockpits which are from the Decorative Pack DLC, the rest of the ship is made using completely vanilla parts. Has a max acceleration of roughly 5 m/s^2 (can reach 100 m/s in about 19 seconds). To deploy and retract the rear turret, just activate the timer block on the turret's toolbar. The firing arc for the rear turret is set up so that its weapons cannot hit the ship itself. Forward landing gear can be deployed via pistons to allow the ship to latch onto other grids. The engine flaps can be rotated back to lower the overall profile for docking, although, due to the size of the ship it can't fit through traditional Airtight Hanger Doors (requires a minimum 9x5 space to fit). Connector is located on the ventral side of the ship.

There is currently an issue where both the forward and rear gatling guns are firing together rather than separately. I've added the groups for the gatlings on their cockpits' toolbar for toggle shooting. Not ideal, but better than nothing. If anyone has a suggestion to fix this issue, I would welcome the help.
