I have fixed a couple of typos on the Type J Seeker.

Type J Seeker
The Type J Seeker is based on the Type S Scout Courier. The power plant, jump drive, and HEPlaR maneuver drives are retained. The flight deck is modified by removal of a workstation and downgrading the sensor and communications suites. A dedicated engineering workstation is located in the main engineering compartment. The hard point has a laser turret added, which is slaved to the flight deck work stations. There is no fire control other than a beam pointer integral to the turret. The crew quarters are modified by removal of the staterooms and replacement with 2 small staterooms. The major modification is removal of the main crew lounge and replacement with two 10-ton cargo bays with large bay doors. The top deck forward 3-ton cargo section is retained for mining supplies or incidental cargos. The top deck aft storage is now a small crew lounge with food preparation area. A small shipfs locker is retained immediately adjacent to the main airlock. Last, the Air/raft is replaced by a grav buggy for use in asteroid exploration/prospecting.

Notes: Integral fuel scoops allow 40 displacement tons to be scooped per hour. Fuel purification plant (1.05 MW) to refine 508.558 m3 fuel (36.3 tons) in 14.50 hours. The power shortfall means that the contragrav lifters or the radio may not be powered while the turret is in operation or some other combination. The life support system of the older Type S is retained which is prone to the same issues. Most crews bring at least one extra set of CO2 scrubbers when maneuvering into deep orbit. Normal practice is two crew performing two crew roles each, such as pilot/sensor ops and engineer/gunner which effectively doubles the operational range of the Type J Seeker.
