Commerce Raider

This is the commerce raider/disguised escort military upgrade to the SCH-318 cargo freighter:

Camouflaged as an RP Logistics vessel it carries a main armament of 9 cannons concealed in the cargo bay and anti-drone flak of 2 miniguns and 8 sentry turrets. It has a hardened steel exterior and a military-grade T2 RCS instead of the T1s in the cargo ship it has been converted from. Most importantly, it has a T2 shield as per backstory.

!!!Once spawned, use the P menu to change the ship's name to "cargo ship"- there is no point having a disguised raider if you are broadcasting the name!!!

It also has an interior blast shield that drops down to help protect the critical systems at the rear from stray shots.

For signal logic:
Battle stations presents all armament, opens the hangar door and drops the blast shield into place.
Dark mode/normal switches off all lights except the grow light for closing on unsuspecting prey
The third and rear cargo/flight decks are switch-controlled

In game, for PVE it can take down even large Alien CVs like the Rados cruiser as per the backstory as long as you are careful with your shield and angle of approach. If you go straight in against full broadside and sit there, you won't win. Against smaller CVs it will have no trouble at all. Regardless, as all critical systems and bridge are far to the rear, you should be able to pull out of a fight even if getting hammered. For PVP it is not a fighting ship.

The turrets are retractable leaving a ramp the the rear area where you can still dock SVs and HVs (up to Tier 6b HV and Tier 5B SV).

Captain's quarters have been removed to make space for the shield, but, as it is a military vessel, this should not cause any complaints. It retains the dinin/hrdroponics, crew quarters and full medical bay.

The rear SV bay should be fitted with either two disguised boarding craft or one boarding craft and one spy vessel:
