Size: 20x11
Designer: Lyle

Desc:
A grabber variant. This ship is designed to be deployed and forgotten in an angle that is useful for the redirection of benign particles, and has the secondary role of acting as a carrier to keep a territory clean. It carries limited refilling capabilities and power distribution functions to assist passing ships.

Revised this ship model after playtesting.

-Removed the center engine.  Turned out to be largely pointless due to the mostly stationary role of this ship.
-Removed a bit of the outlying armor plating.  Will make this ship a little bit easier to position for its intended role.
-Removed 1 energy tank, and added 3 reactors.  This should make the ship much more self reliant on the field.  Reactors positioned so that they're almost the first things to get built when assembling the ship (or repairing it after damage), which should further reduce energy costs.

This looks like a useful multipurpose ship. Do not forget that it could also be deployed in the second line, as the final director of particles, bringing tanker and carrier functionality into the main fleet.
