[Ship] Add CML Shell, Salvage-Research Ship

[Ilya246]

About the PR

roles: salvage-research
appraises at 31k, costs 40k due to plastitanium tax but lack of ore processor, FTL, material silo and a distro
the primary feature is the large cargo bay and its PTK array
also comes with:

• solar assembly crate so you can build 10 solar panels
• free AI core electronics (no reason not to so it should be fine)
• openable borg jobslots
• no distro (intentional: Colossus Machine Legion ship)
• fabrication facilities
• research server and console
• enough plastitanium exterior plating to (mostly) survive asteroid collisions
• as much thrust as a turtle

Why / Balance

seems to be unique niche-wise
does not seem to category-overlap with any other ship of the same size/cost, victoria is geared more towards research and other ships more towards mining

Without reviewing the content itself,

We've already got a lot of mining ships on the civilian roster and even though this has a light twist & shape, I don't think it'll cut it.

I know however that this is meant to be for a minor faction, which hasn't been approved yet. Might consider making more content in a PR with this ship part of it that introduces the minor faction along with extra content as a proof of concept.
Ask fluffen for more details, he generally is the one managing this.

this is more factory than mining aka the big spacious bay for its size

[DieselMohawkTheSequel]

This ship is completely incapable of research

It lacks an artifact chamber, or any artifact pad
It lacks Expedition capabilities for Rogue Silicons (Which drop disks)
It lacks the armaments and armor for drone hunting

you loot wrecks for disks
it's mostly a factory and not research ship as i said, you're supposed to use it to spam borgs and/or mechs etc

[DieselMohawkTheSequel]

Building a ship around the most inefficient and slow way possible to research is a massive downside.

I'll be holding off reviewing this until we are done with company related guidelines. That way I'll be able to tell what's needed proper in terms of content to warrant the ship being in game.
