Notes:
The primary manuever drive for this ship is out of the FFS beta the
gdw-beta list received. It's using a Fusion Rocket for it's primary
thrust. There is also a reaction chamber for the Fusion Reactor, but
it only produces .5G Thrust for 2 hours - enough to simply move away
from the planet to light up the big torch.

Variations might include using part of the cargo hold for fuel -
another  280kl would allow another Jump1. Fuel purification machinery
might also be installed in the hold. A 60kl fuel processing plant
would process 320kl in 19.2 hours, or 600kl fuel in 36 hours.

I created this ship with the idea of the classic 'flying saucer' - and
incorporated a design easily modified to suit a variety of 'frontier'
needs - including combat. The 200MW power plant will easily drive a
laser, sandcaster, or missle launcher in the extra turret. In
addition, the hold could be converted to carry any number of small
vehicles - up to approx 23 displacement tons (giving a 1.6x leeway for
being in a cargo hold)
