Starting Ship: Minotaur

A simple starting ship design for beginning the game.
Costs the full 70.2k starting budget! (Architect economic setting)

Designed for the first few bounties and starting mining, it is easily expanded.

A few suggestions for an immediate upgrade path to follow;

• first few upgrades: Better thrusters and expanded storage.
  
• Then move on to some Point Defence and more lasers!
  
• Cockpits at the rear! With no armour! .. this is really bad if you decide to flee a fight ...
  So I suggest getting that some armour too!

I was quite surprised there is no starting ship focusing on mining.
As of the 0.27.1 update there is now a Model-M starting miner ship!!

However as a ship design made before the update it might spontaneously combust if anything is overclocked and likely doesn't have enough Fire Extinguishers to cope with the newer Heat Mechanics

The only other tip I have the starting game didn't tell me .. Storage doesn't actually NEED to be connected to the rest of your ship, by doors! As long as you have an airlock, crew will fly out and enter by the roof ... but you will need doors eventually for moving storage from one location to another, such as into factories ..

I've also put together several crew roles already, (they get saved with the ship design right?)
... so that should help out. Maybe.

My first mod for this game. I hope your mining career with it works out well !
Please let me know what you think.
