Cargo Duckling: Fast versatile light transport (192 cargo, 14 speed)

The Duckling is a fast transport ship capable of multiple missions including delivering large amounts of cargo. The low cost allows also relatively new players to quickly gain the resources they need for research and better vessels.

Airships normally can carry only a third of its lift in cargo mass. Most vessels which can transport lots of cargo are slow, or make use a lot of rather expensive float stone. The Cargo Duckling can carry 192 parcels, meaning you can get four of the best paid delivery contracts of 48 parcels from Tsuchev Ruins (Spears) or a friendly player fort. It is based on a same principle as the larger Cargoduck, i.e. its lift alone won't allow it to fly fully loaded, however using ballasts it still can.

The Cargo Duckling comes with sufficient bite to defeat stray AI ships or D class hunts. Anything above is not recommend. It carries a harpoon on the back for rescue and capture contracts, for the latter I'd suggest using the Blockade Runner instead though. Group 4 triggers the auto hammer and group 2 engages the altitude maintainer, which is recommended especially with high load.

Required research:
- Large balloons
- Flask engines
- Pressure storage for the small well
- Harpoon Weaponry
- Precision weaponry for the longneck
- Exploration tools for the spyglass cabinet
- Automated control for the altitude maintaner

Any but the first two can be removed/replaced if you haven't unlocked them yet.
