Adds the GS Xanathar.

About the PR

New, from the shipyards of GS, we present... The Xanathar! A retrofitted and cleaned up version of the Mite!
Now, with 100% less radiation!

In essence, adds a logistics ship for the CIVilian market that's powered by solar panels and has a wide suite of computers and even a chute to get out the front of the ship for quick salvage jobs!

The armaments are 2 Rubicon EMP systems and a PTK array.

It has a top speed of 71, a price of 45K 57K and an IFF computer.

Why / Balance

I think it'd be a fun addition. And can supplement most allies/fleets/customers by rapidly recharging SMES units for smaller ships, mining or using it's advanced radar.

With light tuning, it has the possibility of a low IFF signature too. Which would help in more discreet dealings.

How to test

1. Buy from shipyard.
2. Tune the solar panels. If a long time is taken before boarding, swap the Substation's advanced SMES for one of the redundant ones.
3. Test that all network buttons work.
4. See that for some reason thrusters still generate heat if turned off mid-use.
5. Use the fun chute.

Depending on #3372 the PKT amount may need tweaking.

Ignore the top left thrusters being off in the render. They boot ingame once the APC is charged. (Or recharges? I'm not entirely sure.)

Why do you think people would buy it ?

Most ships generate their own power entirely independantly.

Why do you think people would buy it ?

Most ships generate their own power entirely independantly.

The main reason would be while assisting with engineering needs: Repairs and such.

The secondary reason is, by being able to rapidly charge SMES units, it can help small allied ships to not need their own power for a potentially extended period of time. Which could help pirates, some factional ships and such by merit of keeping their thermals lower.

Third, it has the tools to perform it's secondary role as a mining ship adequately, even if the above was ignored, it's PTKs would allow it to mine deeper into Vgroids, while not quite being as fast as M25 mining pulsar ships or the Mite's original PTK arrays.

IMO:

• It's "power granting" niche is too theorical and I doubt it will see uses
• We got several small sized mining ships (Vaquita, Notch, Borer, and that one from DME)

I'll ask what the other map maint thinks of this and we'll try to decide what to do from here.

@Arcticular1 big man what do you think of this ship's niche ? Smash or bash ?
