The MCRN-Pioneer-T2 is a CPU Tier 2 starter CV that comes with a load of standard features and is upgradable. Staying at tier 2, the ship can also have a T2 shield, offline protection, and armor repair added and remain at 100% CPU tier 2 efficiency.

This ship was tested loading 4 HV’s/SV’s + max cargo and can still lift off and get around with heavy lift mode on.
Inside the ship has areas to add a T2 shield, Offline Protection, and Armor repair. In the hangar there is an LCD with info on where these parts can be added. Beyond that, the ship is also ready with marked locations to add a repair bay, repair console, and 2xT3 blocks. Adding a repair bay + all other features will bring the ship above CPU tier 2 with a 84% efficiency. One could either place a repair bay as needed and remove when the repair is complete or add CPU Tier 3 blocks. This ship does not need to become CPU tier 3 for all other options thou.
