About the PR

Light pluto Mk.II maintenance, just making it prettier.

  • switched some tiles & walls
  • updated radar signature
  • put reinforced hull plating under thrusters
  • replaced armor with plastitanium

Now in sum it's meant to be a fast moving border runner. It's got a spot for an IFF console if the pilot bothers to get one.
TL:DR straight upgrade from old var, up to recent civ standards

Why / Balance

Better ships better game

How to test

Drafting until I have an answer from maints in regards of defence features (plastit armor/PD)

Not a maint but I can answer based on precedent. Both are perfectly valid. PD is a given for ships and was even a guideline requirement last time I read the document (ie L85 20mm as a bare minimum shipgun loadout)

Plastit walls would just incur an upcharge. See: Feedback on the Stubby PR

Added plastit hull, go go PR ready.
Decided against L85 for the sake of keeping the shape and the "all in" design mindset. PD will be reserved for larger DI trade hulls.
