Supported changes
- Fixed architectureDesign notes
- Authored hull, load paths and role hardware. No generic interchangeable mount interface is established by this entry.Registrar source review for this recipe; context, not a live-instance measurement.
- ProposalsProposal
- Alternative weapons or bay payloads need a reviewed physical compatibility and service contract.Design proposals only; not implemented or certified compatible.
- SupportedDesign notes
- Repair/replacement follows the exact installed definition. Separate research recipes are new manufactured fits, unless an explicit live upgrade says otherwise.Registrar source review for this recipe; context, not a live-instance measurement.
