Astra 6-C

This is a heavily modified variant of filbertfarmer's Astra V.

The Astra 6-C Exploration Carrier was created out of the need long range exploration using various modules while still having the carrying capacity for 10-20 fighting SVs. While this ship can land and take off from 2.0 and lighter gravity, it is designed to be left in a non-hostile system (sun or non-hostile space) and for players to use the modules to land on planet. The ship can run roughly 225hrs with turrets and thrusters turned off giving ample time to refuel.

Aside from it's size, they key difference between the Astra V byfilbertfarmer and The BFTC_ASTRA 6 is that the cockpit has been rotated (as well as the orientation of the ship), there are 2 additional module bays, and the center of the ship has been converted into a hangar bay.

The ship includes

x16 hydroponic bays (144 individual grow plots)
x1 256k ammunition controller
Full medical system
x2 640k container controllers
x2 boarding ramps in the front
x1 Small HV hangar
x1 Large SV hangar
Several landing pads on top of the ship including 2 large pads for CVs
Several Upper and lower sentry guns / automatic Gatling turrets

The Astra 6 also includes 6 module docking stations (compared to the Astra V's 4 docking stations).
