Claw-T3

Description
Hillbilly T3 modified version of the excellent Talon-T2 by @jrandall, original here:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1920227555

The idea with this mod was to take a really excellent hull designed under strict T2 constraints, and slam a great big T3 cpu in and 'overprop' it so that it could handle a wider range of scenarios - basically a swiss army spaceship. So we have more thrust (in particular downward for high-g worlds, and port/starboard for parallel parking), some RCS, a constructor, a shield so you can dangerzone-explore* planets without worrying about Zirax potshots, and an expanded fuel bay and (probably not optimised) economy mode for cruising. Also I made it black with blue highlights to give it a 'covops' feel, and because I like blue.

Trade-offs? Performance-wise none because it's T3 so there's more room to play with. But speaking of room, the inside is less spacious and pretty due to hillbilly modding.

I went ahead and opened my version of this up, I still see people wanting to use this ship and I made a version of it for reforged-eden also.

@DocRabbit Thanks man! I don't know if i'll bother upgrading it, I figure in the spirit of my hillbilly mod, people will just have to get out the welder. Roleplay and all that!

Just a heads up if you want make this Alpha 12 ready. To avoid damaging the generators when shield comes on, I installed 3 additional small generators in the back on the right side, partially enclosed in blocks. I had to remove the lower glass near the shield, but keeps you clear of any rads with just that line of blocks covering their front edge.
