Rigger Mk2 Privateer Refit

Description
This is my refit of Rigger MkII posted by Na_Palm on the Workshop. It's an awesome looking asymetrical ship with a backstory of being built from ship junkyard scrap in order to escape being marooned on a planet. It's a great little stylish cargo hauler with a quick loading bay in the back.

I loved it and it became my favorite sv but it didn't have the durability, handling or all the functionality (even if just rp aesthetics) I wanted so I upgraded its systems and redesigned the interior to be the privateering ship I wanted suitable for trading, hauling, piracy, blockade running, smuggling, prisoner taking and bounty hunting. A ship with everything a couple of privateers need to live and work out of.

I tried to preserve the original aesthetic as much as possible with my changes:

-Upgraded hull to hardened steel and added weapons (basic ones here just for BP to keep unlock level low, gatlings and standard rockets.)

-Replaced all engines and added RCS and fuel storage to improve performance, efficiency and give enough thrust for most high G worlds. Added a fuel economy toggle so it doesn't guzzle fuel when high performance isn't needed.

-Added passenger seats, and crew compartment cargo storage.

-Added Toilet/Shower combo.

-converted front observation area into a prisoner holding cell.

-Contraband Cargo: Inside the rear engineering access (in the cargo bay), there is a switch hidden near the ceiling that opens a hidden smuggling compartment above the food prep area. It holds two large crates.

Hey! Thanks. Your great build made it all possible. I loved all the extra space and spacer trusses I found inside some walls to make modification very easy. I recently made a very different vessel, but one that serves in a similar role (love the concept of larger SVs you can live out of)
