I read in another thread that the Firefly Transort is going to be removed from the mod in the next version.
This makes me a little :( , so I figured that a replacement would be in order.
I've been thinking about a 'new' ship, based on the "Camara" heavy freighter and I've gotten the info card sorted out at least.
See below;

DSE-900 "Super Camara" Light Transport
Building on the success of the "Camara" Heavy Freighter, DSE decided to build a 'light transport' along the same lines.
Featuring the same fast loading/unloading pods as the "Camara", the "Super Camara" can carry almost 6 times as much cargo.
With 8 Transport turret mounts and 4 standard turret mounts set along the spine of the ship, along with a solid hull and generous power-core, it is capable of looking after itself in most situations.
Stats
Gun/Turret Mounts: 0/12
Armor: 100000
Cargo Space: 3600
Max Batteries/NanoBots: 450/450
Power Output: 50000
Max. Impulse Speed: 80
Equipment Mounts: CM, CD
Yes, those are the exact same stats as the Firefly.
As for the 12 turrets, I was thinking the 4 extra 'standard' turrets would actually cause a power drain to happen, instead of the current situation where Transports seem to be able to fire all day long without seeing thier power gauge dip.
The idea is that the "Super Camara" (the name can be changed peeps!) is based on the "Camara", so it should retain the shape or be a similar shape to the "Camara", most likely with extra 'power cabling' and slightly flattened (side to side) so it is more of an oval shape.
Note that while the "Super Camara" will have a *lot* of 'broadside' fire power, it's damage ability is reduced at either end due to some of the turrets being blocked by, well, turrets.
Anyone have something to add?
Adding more!
As an addition to make it look less like a 'supersized' "Camara", the 'quick change' pods could be made more noticable.
Also a different texture/color could be used to show a different sort of construction due to the large size and more dense hull of the ship.
