C10-T1 Skipper II.B [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.

Skipper II Improves on the Skipper I design by adding space for Growing Plots, at the cost of a little bottom armor thickness, thruster protection, maybe some design coolness, and slightly increased ship size. Skipper II.B refines the Skipper II design (link: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2193934760) by shifting around the internal space, actually allowing us to upgrade the 3 x small generators to 1 x large, shave 1 block off the height, and improve overall armor coverage a bit while only increasing CPU by about 600.

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 (208k, 92%)
- Clearly marked placeholders for T2 upgrade, Warp Drive Offline Protection, and Polarized Hull Shield 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
- Can easily add bottom thrusters to handle heavy planets without sacrificing thruster protection
- Plenty of cargo space for an entry-level CV
