Stock everything except the body weapons. The RAFT ships with empty S1 mounts; we add 2× CF-117 Bulldog laser repeaters as token deterrence. Stock 3× Aspis S2 shields are unusually heavy for a starter ship and got a +43% HP buff in 4.7 — keep them. The stock Bolon QDrive is the trade-economy pick already. Don't change anything else.
