[ORE] Cargo Lifter (Vanilla)

Designed specifically to transport [ORE] Cargo Containers, the [ORE] Cargo Lifter has four corner-point merge blocks (labelled "clamps") which fit into the clamp points on all [ORE] Cargo Containers. In addition, it has an array of ion thrusters (with eight facing in the upward/downard orientation relating to connect containers). The ion thrusters are angled so they will not cause splashback damage to containers.

In addition, the cargo lifter is fitted with a connector that can align and connect to a carried cargo container. This can be used to exchange goods between cockpit, pilot, and anything contained -- enabling the combination of a cargo container and a cargo lifter as a sort of ersatz long-range exploration vessel.

The cargo lifter also has an oxygen tank and an oxygen generator so it can pick up and deliver cargo over long distances while keeping the pilot alive.

Four batteries help to insure long-distance capability if uranium ingots are not readily available to power the two onboard reactors (in other words, the cargo lifter can tap energy reserves from a connected container or from a docked power system).

Finally, as it is expected for a cargo lifter to be working in a starport environment, it is fitted with standard red/green blinking running lights on its port and starboard sides.

All systems have been labelled and can be controlled through groups that have been set up. Hotkey #1 has been linked to toggle the on/off status of the docking clamps.

The ship is 100% vanilla and survival ready!
