Osprey-T3

UPDATE 15/2/20: Decided to take another look at this. Removed rails for extra gats and fixed some blocks to lower cost, as well as tidying up some shoddy container work. The result is considerably more storage at ~10k, and far fewer rare materials. I also did some visual work on the nose section which I always felt was a bit drab on this mod; it now has more character.

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. I'd done something similar with @jrandall's Talon-T2, but I just love the aesthetics of @Dadrick's 'Eclipse' line, so I decided to have a go at the Peregrine, because it's just such a lovely looking ship and I wished I was flying it all the time.

I wanted to go with an armored cockpit, whilst trying to retain at least some of the look and feel of the original, which has such a beautiful nose section. We also have more thrust (in particular downward for high-g worlds), a shield so you can dangerzone-explore* planets without worrying about Zirax potshots, a constructor cos lol why not, and a bigger generator to make it all work nicely.

Trade-offs? Performance-wise none because it's T3 so there's tonnes more room to play with; however it is T3 so there's that. There's no getting around the fact that you lose some of the iconic looks at the front, but at least there's a silver lining in that you can get in from the port and starboard bows. The extra gear also adds some rare mats, but it's not too rough.
