Better Starter Ships

[Given that I haven't played this game in months and don't plan to return, these ships are likely very outdated]

This mod contains 14 starter ships. 7 of the 14 are optimizations of the default Starters, which at a minimum increase starting crew to 12. Note that this doesn't increase the amount of total crew available - 3 or 6 of the available 18 0-Fame Crew from the start of the game are effectively already hired.

4 Model-S Starter variants:
-The Standard variant increases Crew from 6 to 12. Flies 5m/s faster. Lose 2200 starting credits.
-The Starwright variant is designed for the Starwright Economic Difficulty. It sacrifices a little bit of forward thrust and a storage bay (although the space remains). It flies 0.6m/s slower than the Original Model-S.
-Tri-Laser variant increases Crew from 6 to 12. Adds a third Laser. Flies 3m/s slower. Lose 2200 starting credits.
-Tri Starwright variant is designed for Starwright Economic Difficulty. It sacrifices all of it's armour and it's storage bay. It flies 4m/s faster than the Original Model-S.

2 Model-L Starter variants:
-The Standard variant increases Crew from 9 to 12, adds a third storage bay, and has slightly better armour. It flies 2m/s faster. Lose 1600 starting credits.
-The Starwright variant is designed for the Starwright Economic Difficulty. It sacrifices 2 storage bays (although the space remains), and flies 2m/s faster than the Original Model-L.

1 Model-C Starter variant:
-Increases Crew from 9 to 12. Flies 22m/s faster. The sides are better armoured, although the front is slightly more fragile. Lose 150 starting credits. This Model is also cheap enough for Starwright Economic Difficulty.


7 New ships:

Model-SC:
-2 Cannons and a Shield, 12 Crew, flies 37m/s faster than Model-C and 1m/s faster than Model-S. 1 less storage bay and slightly less horizontal thrust than Model-C.

Model-HL:
-Heavy Laser + Shield, this ship only starts with 8 crew and lacks any storage.

Model-LC:
-The Model-C upgraded with 2 Large Cannons. 12 Crew, but less armoured.

Model-LCS:
-Large Cannon + Shield. 12 Crew with half the usual Cannon ship storage and less thrust, though higher speed due to lower weight.

Model-I:
-Ion Beam. Lacks any storage, but has sufficient reverse thrust to keep it mostly out of harms way and exploit the range of its Ion Beam. This is a challenging start.

Model-M:
-Standard variant has a Mining Laser, 6 Crew, and 2 4x4's of storage. It has expansion room for an additional 3x4 storage without otherwise modifying the ship.
-PD variant halfs its storage to 4 2x2's, but flies 35m/s faster and adds a pair of Point Defense.
