Reaver Drives

Adds two new Fusion Drives to the game: FM300 'Reaver' Drive and FM600 'Reaver' Drive.

These modules are aimed at being a balanced alternative to the vanilla 'Raider' drives, and have similar specs / fitting requirements, but with a few changes to make things interesting...

You might find your reactors going into meltdown a bit more often when flying without core containment ;)

Currently they only effect stats but it's my hope to eventually give the drive a visible effect on the ships afterburner wake by adding a smoke effect.

Module Overview:
Smaller crew requirement than other Drives
Provides slightly more Power (kW) than a Raider Drive
Max Speed Increase (not as much as Whiplash Drive)
Linear Thrust Increase (same as Raider Drive)
Angular Thrust Increase (same as Raider Drive)
Radar Signature Increase (not as severe as a Raider Drive)
Increased chance for Catastrophic Event (Reactor) 100%


This drive has had its core containment failsafe's overriden - a highly dangerous modification which, while giving the drive improved power and thrust output, drastically increases the chances of a reactor meltdown. The drive itself is also more likely to experience a catastrophic failure, due to the dangerously high radiation levels within the compartment (3.6 Roentgen, not great, not terrible). Smoking exhaust fumes left in the wake are a tell-tale sign of a ship flying without core containment.
