C10-T1 Skipper II [1.0]

Summary: Early-game expandable Warp-capable T1 Capital Vessel optimized to be the most cost-effective first CV for early survival gameplay. Coming in well below the T1 limit even if you add a Warp Drive, this little brute has a lot to offer. Gain entry from the bottom-facing elevator, or dual rear corridors from the docking tail if landed at an angle.

Improves on the Skipper I design by adding space for Growing Plots, downgrading the Advanced Constructor to Large, changing the Warp Drive to an optional addition to remove the Sathium build requirement, at the cost of bottom armor thickness, thruster protection, design coolness, and a slightly increased ship size.

PROTIP: For docking an HV and an SV to the tail, first land with the nose 25 to 30 degrees above the horizon on relatively flat ground to turn the tail into a ramp for easy HV loading, enter via rear docking tail door to level out, and then dock your SV to the bottom (possibly upside down, see included pics).

Additional Notes:
- Well under T1 CPU limit, slightly exceeds if you add a Warp Drive and Polarized Hull Shield (207k, 93%)
- Placeholders for T2 upgrade (beside Wireless Connection), Warp Drive (above maintenance bay), Offline Protection (left maintenance bay slot), and Polarized Hull Shield (rear maintenance bay wall) in plain sight
- No Zascosium, Erestrum, or Sathium required for base model; scavenge some Sathium Plates from a wrecked CV to gather enough Sathium to add on a Warp Drive, and you can add a Hull Shield after refining about 60 each of the other minerals
- Plenty of cargo space for an entry-level CV
