[LKF] Aurora Australis Mk II

Lore

During peace times, the Aurora had served as an adequate cargo ship, with 4 large containers it was very useful for hauling around large amounts of components. After wars breakout, Auroras were targeted for their valuable cargo. They also had to perform Lunar landings more often as stations were being lost.

To help her in her role, a Mk II was issued. Featuring more lifting thrust for large payloads, better turn rates, landing gear and better armament. A prototype Mk III was also made, removing the top nacelle and featuring tougher weaponry, though this is still being tested.

Description

I never realized how bad the Aurora Australis looked until I had to lay my eyes upon it again, upon seeing it, it physically damaged my eyes. I decided to get rid of all the 'spikey' bits and complete the look the original was going for, but ultimately failed. Hard.

The Mk II features more turrets, landing gear, more lifting thrust, more gyro control and an overall aesthetics overhaul. She is now a great vessel for carrying payloads around the system. She carries 4 large cargo containers, is powered by hydrogen thrust and uses ion as booster or emergency engines.
Reactor and battery powered.
