A ship of all trades

What I've (re-)learned today: a bounty hunter needs a Shield Cell Bank. So I traded one (another one!) of my cargo racks for a 3A bank, and as I already was at the outfitter's shop, I upgraded my Kill Warrant Scanner from E to C, too. So my cargo capacity dropped from 56 to 48 tons ...But I'll just have to save some money. For about 4M Cr I can change my 6C Shield Generator to a 5A one, and get about the same performance for less size (it's 20 t, not 40 t; ideal mass of the ship drops from 540 to 405, max. mass from 1350 to 1013, so I'll be a bit heavier than ideal, but I think I'll manage). Power usage will go from 3.10 to 3.64, but changing the KWS from C back to D will keep everything working even with deployed hardpoints. Shield power will about stay the same (249 instead of 247, with a A-grade Shield Booster both times).
This way I can change a size-5 cargo rack for a size-6 one, getting 32 tons more, giving me 80 tons of carge space! Then the ship will deserve to be called an "armed trader" again.
