Claymore III is just a starting point.

I removed all the extra ladders, turned the Brig into living space and turned two of the 1x1 habs into a 2x1 Workshop/Armory.

It has four particle turrets instead of two, firing arcs are better. Burst damage from the missiles is almost doubled, and I added a VERY LARGE particle cannon mount on the spine.

Plus the Hope55 landing gear which just make all your takeoffs and landings that much more fun.

Only Mods required are Better Flips/Snaps. Optional Mods Place Doors Yourself, Ship Colorize, Missile Barrage Launchers, SETI lighting mod.
