Wayfarer-Class Freighter (Vanilla and Survival ready!)

Description
Now with 100% more defence drones and fighter!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quartofel Space Technologies great entrance on civilian market, crown jewel of our engineering and design - we present you Wayfarer-Class Freighter!

This gigantic ship (112,5m wide, 57,5m tall 315m long) is designed for transporting large ammounts of resources or - thanks to 2 drone hangars - it can be also fitted with up to 10 drones. User can outfit ship with mining drones (not provided), to allow it perform mining operations remotely for the instance.

Freighter is equipped with powerful hydrogen thruster array, alongside with traditional ion thrusters as well as hydrogen manouver thrusters to extend manouverability while loaded. This makes Wayfarer really fast ship despite it's size, which can come in handy, when pesky pirates appear as freighter is not suitable for prolonged combat. Vessel energy comes from solar panels placed along hull and 4 Large Nuclear Reactors. Ship can also stockpile some energy in battery arrays.
Additionally, ship is equipped with Hydrogen Manouver Thrusters to support manouverability while loaded.

7 hull-mounted cargo bays can be extended via modular expansion system. Ship comes already loaded with Gatling Cargo Pod witx 2x Gatling Turret, and 15x Large Cargo Containers, and additional unarmed Cargo Pod.
Additional pod are available:
Refining Pod:

In the following days QST plan to release:
Assembling Pod;
Jump Drive Pod;
Factory Pod;
AM Pod for Gravity Gateway Network;
Defence Drone Pod;
This will allow our dear customers adjust ship to their very own needs.
Central part of ship is the hydrogen tank cluster. It can transport enormous ammount's of hydrogen.

4 connector ports on top and belly allow easy resource transfer. Two of these connectors are optimised for ejecting unnecessary stone.

Wayfarer is really underarmored and underarmed ship. 18 hull mounted Gatling Turrets, plus 2 from Cargo Pod in combination with Anti-Projectile Turrets should take care of lightly armored threats, but nothing more.
Ship is equipped with heavily modified Enforcer-Class Autonomous Defence Drones, linked with Rdav's Fleet Command script, as well as slightly modified manned Enforcer-Class Strike Fighter. Unmodified ships were provided by Bored Arsonist's Private Shipyard:

Crew section is fully pressurized, and houses PBlocks extending ship's functionality, RC Module which may, or may not be lame reference to 2001 - Space Odyssey, two upgraded Refineries, oxygen supply, gyroscopes and high-visibility bridge. Medbay is present in this section as well.
