MCRN-Karkinos-4

This is a further mod and upgraded MCRN 4 Karkinos.

In this modded form, I wanted to have the mini-gun turrets be able to attack enemies that might come upon me from the rear and the current design did not allow for it. Also in keeping with the design shape so that it would fit under the MCRN-CONDOR as it was intended, I had to raise the back turrets, remove the back quarter panels of the ship, because they prevented the mini-guns ability to hit danger close to the ship , and move the thrusters down one level. The height of the ship did not allow me to replace the back quarter panels conveniently without hindering the mini-guns arc of fire.

I upgraded all the outer blocks to combat steel and added a pair of Thruster L 's to the back of the ship. With over 10k storage, if you attempt to haul steel blocks, I felt you may want the added downward thrust to help your ship move forward without dragging the back of your ship. I put space to add another pair of 1x3 thruster L in the back of the ship, which is hidden by grilles ( shown in the picture ). I added 2 rcs to help with movement from side to side.

It is still TIER 3 at 25490/30000.

Although I have modded the MCRN - Karkinos many times, I still give all the credit and kudos to the creator TeeWRX82 and his original design found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1913895116&searchtext=mcrn It is a beautiful piece of eye candy and I have tried very hard to honor the design by not changing it too much when modding it.

Changes: All combat steel exterior Mini-gun turrets can now fire behind the ship Added 2 L thrusters added for hauling heavy loads Added 2 empty spots to add 2 more downward thrusters Added 2 RCS's

I hope you find this design useful
