SSI-Heavy Fighter T4 L20

Description
This is a refit of an old SSI-Avenger Heavy Fighter as the original build no longer flew, so I have essentially totally remodeled it.

Original model can be found here : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1392865753

It should be noted that the original model in the link above WILL NOT FLY IN Alpha 12 without refitting it.

Crew cabin was repurposed to house the T4 CPU extenders and warp drive.
Added a hull shield, more generators to deal with shield and more weapons.
Access door was moved and the interior was refit to provide some armor protection for the CPU and Warp drive.

All RCU's removed and tried to balance thrust out more.

I enclosed all thrusters, and extended the "wing" housings which I also enclosed, mainly to provide some protection for thrusters where possible.

Also reduced the amount of storage as this is likely to be a ship I will use to deploy from a CV that can already provide storage and fridges etc. I did not feel all that equipment was necessary.

This is now a heavily armed weapons platform. Nice flight performance, handles like a fighter plane, a little slow on the roll but it still handles well.

Tried to keep the shape and clean lines of the original as much as possible while still providing armor for all the additional thrusters and relocation of existing thrusters to deal with yaw.
