Blockade Runner

Description
Right now most of expeditions is about flying or fighting. I'd like to suggest adding some more hide and seek like content, e.g. with airships vs submarines.
As a first step based on existing content, I designed this Blockade Runner here, which allows you to succeed at high-yield tasks with little risk.

Using it you can do several kinds of missions, none of which require you to defeat an enemy.
- Captures: It doesn't say anywhere that you have to disable the quarry or even damage it. Thus just spawn it and lure it back to Tower (you have to make sure that it gets pretty close to it) to finish the mission.
- Smuggling: You don't have to defeat the guard ship, just pick up the cargo from the entrance and fly away.
- Capturing synthesisers: Try to approach it relatively late, go in, capture it and get out again. On some islands you can go early and hide instead, e.g. on Ridgeline, Igloo and Volcano you can just fly into the cave where the AI ship will have difficulty reaching you, on Spearhead you can do the same on top of the central plateau.

The Blockade Runner flies with a speed of up to 16.8 and features an auto hammer covering the rear part of the ship (which is going to get hit the most) as well as a longneck cannon for self-defence (I'd recommend to set to target deployables, don't bother too much shooting at the enemy).
