Arashi MKV (RE2)

Description
This is an updated version of @styLmntz's Arashi MKIII for Reforged Eden 2. I was on the lookout for a small attack SV that could mount a shield and substantial firepower in vanilla, and I found it in the Arashi, an excellent and compact space superiority fighter, and a natural fit for my exploration flagship the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ MKIV, also designed by styLmntz.

Internals and equipment have all been replaced or removed from the MKIV version. The current defensive and offensive loadout is based on Spanj's Maverick. The MKV is a no-frills build intended to attack shielded POIs. The thruster profile has also been improved somewhat in comparison to the MKIV, though it doesn't include RCS's, like the Maverick does.

By design, the Arashi is snug enough to fit through a 5x3 hangar door (for example, it can fit the rear and upper hangar apertures of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥, or dock on its side thruster assemblies.)

Equipment
2x Medium EMP Bomb Launchers
2x Medium Rocket Launcher Pods
Small shield, basic charger and improved capacitor
2x 1kSU Ammo Controllers
Detector
Wifi
Front spotlight
2x fuel tanks, 2x O2 tanks

Primary Attributes
Unlock Level: 20
Size Class: 1
CPU Tier: 1
Build Time: 52m 20s

Upgrade potential
The current build is at Core 5 limit, but has plenty of space for internal upgades with further CPU upgrades or removal/downgrading of existing components. Based on the availaiblity of plasma converters, some thrusters could be converted to plasma (prioritize the upper assembly, as it's the weakest in output). Adding 4 RCS units will also substantially improve combat handling. Finally, select hardened steel blocks can be substituted with combat steel.

Disclaimer: I only tweak existing designs for my own use in-game, and will likely publish some reworks that I feel might be useful to others, always crediting the original creators. This also means I'm unlikely to keep updating them at length, though I welcome comments and am open to early suggestions.
