C15T2 Glass Cannon [1.3]

Summary: Pocket Battlecarrier defined. Updated for v1.3 and downgraded to Tier 2 to lower the barrier to entry. Can be easily re-upgraded to Tier 3.

Don't let the name fool you, that "glass" is armored glass after all. This heavily armed and armored home away from home holds multiple SVs and HVs, and includes all the base essentials while weighing in at just 2.15 kt. While the glass will cost a lot of silicon, the low weight means substantial promethium savings with atmospheric flight without compromising on protection. All but 4 of the turrets locations are front-facing with excellent range of motion, making this CV ideal for offensive operations, even on planets. Hover and point it at a POI, scramble your SV from the hangar, and watch the shields melt on an enemy planetary base, especially if you add pulse lasers on the empty turret positions.

Additional Notes:
- Hangar with twin 6x5 doors fits 4 or more mid-sized T2/3 SVs/HVs (when docking SVs to ceiling)
- Design includes the necessities for prolonged interplanetary operations
- Carbon composite + window interior layer, hardened/combat steel + armored/heavy window exterior layer, and shutter windows covering thrusters and front window for excellent protection from explosives
- All critical ship systems crammed into a 4x5x5 box encased in layers of armored windows and hardened steel for robust yet lightweight protection
- Logistics-compatible, with 7 cargo boxes, 16 kSU of ammo space, and a little room in the rear for an ore add-on
- Space reserved for 18 growing plots (not included) and 4 constructors
- Center of mass close to true center
- 6 x Minigun Turret on front and 4 x Minigun Turret on L+R+T+B of rear end for high DPS and low ammo cost, space to add many more turrets of your choice (pulse or plasma recommended for DPS) and artillery on top
- Space reserved inside rear window area for small ore mining addition
- Upgrade to Tier 3 to add Repair Bay, Repair Station, 10+ more turrets, 2 more constructors, etc
