================================================================================================
Overview:
    Since the reintroduction of XL engines, Marauders have gotten to be very expensive.  The
    MAD-13 production line hopes to fix this with a return to basics philosophy.  The results is
    a relatively cheap workhorse design.

Capabilities:
    The MAD-13IPD is an evolutionary descendant of the original MAD-3R.  Im the past 120 years
    the tech base of the human sphere has expanded well past the general capabilities of the
    Star League.  The width of industry is still recovering from centuries of war, but the
    factories being built are cutting edge.  Which means things like, Endo Steel is common.  So
    it was used.   Double Heatsinks are nearly ubiquitous.  ER PPCs and ER Medium lasers can be
    sourced easilly.  And Rotary Autocannons are for sale.
    
    The net result is a general improvement on the Marauder.  It can hit farther out and for
    longer then its progenitor.  And its medium range firepower puts the original model to
    shame.

Variants:
    The first generation of variants tend to swap out the ER PPCs for ER large lasers.  The
    resultant weight savings is then put into improved electronics.
