LSP Light Launch Mod 6502
The 16 dTon launch is designed to go with the "armed" version of the Far Venture class 2J merchants. It is a quite simple design, being made, mainly, to be the minimum needed to transport a 10 dTon module from a planet surface to orbit.

This is the sort of unglamorous workhorse that settings need, and all too often don't get. The lighters, the barges, the equivalent of the coast guard: vessels that normal people interact with. Yeah, the battleships are glamorous, but how often do you meet one, and how do you interact with it other than "fly casual"?
