Khar-Toba

* Updated for alpha 9.1, change log at bottom *

This ship is built to meet the requirements of a specific challenge and may not be an optimal design. Build requirements where simple. The ship needed to fit into a 13 X 7 hangar door which limited the ship to 5 blocks high and 11 blocks wide overall. I decided to flip that and make the ship thin and go vertical. It turns out that I inadvertently or subconciously made the ship looks very similar to the Homeworld mothership (refered to as the banana) so I named this vessel the Khar-Toba in honor of the epic classic that is Homeworld.

* Alpha 9.1 changelog * - Changed default external camera position to be as low as possible and far enough away from ship to allow it to be piloted in atmosphere. It is still not perfect but it seems there are camera issues if a ship is much taller than it is long. - Added 5 block high armor belt around engineering. All exterior blocks and interior deviding walls converted to combat steel. Between 50% and 100% more EHP between hull and components. - Added 2 block buffer between the turret segments, small change that adds an extra half block to the most hit area during combat. -Moved core to opposite side of warp core, replaced original core block with combat steel block to seperate the 2 rcs prevending cascade explosion. Core is tested to survive explosion of warp core and both generators surrounding it. - Added heavy glass in front of core / warp core, protects the core from the back and stops a stray rocket from taking out both generators at once. - Moved wifi connector to an area between floors to make room for core. - Changed boarding ramp door to armored door. - Harmonized doors textures / colors - Retextured ramp and construction area with new container textures - Updated relevant pictures and added a picture to show the new armor belt area (last picture in series)
