Tortoise Hauler

A simple bulk hauler ship that can hold a crew of two/three. Has a decent enough habitation room for crew members to relax, eat, and sleep in. If there is a third crew member, then they will need to take shifts as there is only two beds. Think of this third crew member as a look-out of sorts.

It's components are very exposed and only has one Assault Turret. It is not a fighter and is not expected to go through hostile space but does have some decent acceleration with the main thrusters.

With a design following the idea to be more of a trader within a more controlled sector of space, the docks created this vessel with minimal armor so most of the mass is in cargo rather than the ship's own weight. With its single turret, it is able to fend off a single small pirate or two--(or be an unsuspecting smuggler vessel.)

As in the name, the crew section of the ship is much like the protective shell of a tortoise atop the "flesh" of the rest of the vessel.

There is ion fallback if the hydrogen runs dry and a beacon for SOS calls. Along with a signal transmitter for more specific messages to be broadcasted into the void.

It is able to haul cargo as well as hydrogen:
> 4x Large Cargo Containers
> 2x Large Hydro Tanks

The ship has its own 2x hydrogen tank storages, but CAN pull from the cargo tanks if necessary.
