Size class 2 CPU Tier 3 Unlock level 12

Nexus series 1 cargo tug for pushing cargo around an orbital station. Designed as a bit of fluff for Nexus Station but also functional. Replace two of the cargo controllers with harvest controllers, install some drills up front(or simply pop the drone hatch open and mine from the safety of the interior) and you could use it to mine and haul ore. Or switch two of the cargo controllers for ammo controllers, install some plasma cannons and a shield and go blow stuff up.

4x Cargo Controllers(replace with Harvest Controllers as necessary). 1x Ammo controller 4x gatling guns 2x rocket launchers 4x mini-gun turrets

Warp drive/tank Constructor/o2 station/armor locker Drone Hatch

No shield but space has been set aside for the shield and CPU upgrades. Steel construction for the main hull and sensitive areas. I did use a lot of carbon fiber in the construction in non-critical areas and the front arms are a mix of carbon fiber and cargo extensions. It would take a bit of redesigning to turn it into a proper combat vessel.
