Auxiliary Shepherd
« on: November 11, 2017, 02:18:30 PM »

     I really hate picking up ships with the Civilian Grade-Hull, and looking over the Shepherd, it seems like it would make a great Auxiliary candidate. Good logistics profile, pd support from it's borers, shielded, relatively low tech, and just like the Kite, a pair of dinky little weapons. I think from a lore perspective, because it shares so much with the Kite, it makes sense that there would also be Auxiliary Shepherds.
    
I think some good modifications would be to change the Civilian Grade hull to Auxiliary, and add some maneuverability(turning speed) and flux capacity.

Let me know what you guys think!

You might be happy to know that there is in fact a mod that introduces a Shepherd (A), along with custom Auxiliary variants of the Mule and Venture as well.
