Fan-made ARGO SCAV, a salvage & cargo loading snub

The new Salvage and Cargo Assistive Vehicle from Argo Astronautics. A tiny snub meant to assist larger ships with hull scraping and cargo loading.

ARGO's SCAV comes with dual salvage beams and a central cargo tractor beam. Its small size allows it to fit in larger ships and even dock with the RSI Constellation; However there was no room for weapons or even internal cargo; Recycled material cubes must be ejected out the back. Despite this, the Salvage and Cargo Assistive Vehicle lives ups to it name and gives any ship that can carry it an extra hand with hull scraping or cargo loading.

I have not decided if this should have a quantum drive. Issue is with many ships this fills the whole cargo hold, leaving little room for salvage. If it had a drive, it could have only enough fuel to jump to moons, not between planets. Then it'd still be dependent on larger ships for cargo and long range transit, but could return to a station seperately after a job.

The ship is not much larger than an Ursa, so it fits in the following vehicles:

Constellation Variants except the Taurus

Freelancer MAX

Mercury Star Runner

Caterpillar

Corsair

Carrack

C2/M2/A2 Hercules Starlifter

Starfarer

600i [post-rework]

890 Jump

Idris

Javelin

Odyssey

Liberator (inside where the ground vehicles go)

Note this is a fan-made concept although some ingame assets were used in its production.
