50ton Modular Cutter with Container Module

Description

In some cases the circular cross section of the standard cutter (or small craft) is less than optimal regarding load capacity and wasted space. I needed a module that fits into a few design requirements of modern containers. Efficiency, intermodality, stackability and ease of maintenance. This module is the closest match to these requirements I could think of, that still uses standard module components. It is a little wider than a standard module.

This variant shows an Imperiallines Livery and the module is fitted with an AeroCowl to provide a little more streamlining for atmospheric operation. The cowls can be fitted within 30 minutes on any Class D Starport and up. IMTU a wide variety of modules exist and the cowls look usually quite beaten up from repeated re-entry maneuvers.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
