pipermakes post [May Relesase] Transcor [TRA] Transport class VoidConstruct from patreon

Transcor should be up on PWG. The buildguide that's in the Transcor is currently a temp file that' I'll probably re-make tomorrow cause past Piper hates me. But the Preplate basically has everything you need already set up (with a few optional pieces to be picked out~

Next up on the ReRun Docket is the skimer/grav tank weapons platform/transport (Cichlid/TriggerFish/Fugi)~

No preplates on this one yet, and I'm still figuring out how I want to do them with there being so much variance in the kits.
