Summary	0005340: Mk4-5 Neinzul Younglings are slightly weaker than their stats suggest
Description	Neinzul Younglings are generally tricky to use due to their short lifespans, but this is usually circumvented by building Space Docks coupled with a flotilla of engineers as needed. Mk4-5 Younglings are slightly trickier to use -- mk4 can only be built on Advanced Factories (and the expensive Neinzul Starship mk4), and mk5 can only be built by Fabricators. This inflexibility in building location means that you tend to lose some HP moving the younglings around. Intra-Galactic Warp Gates help, but can take more micromanagement and forces other mk4-5 ships to come out the same place. So, mk4-5 Younglings generally take a longer duration self-attrition before getting into action, compared to mk1-3. This issue is probably best mitigated with a minor health buff to mk4-5 Younglings, maybe coupled with a minor increase in lifespan. Ideally there'd be a way to make their lifespans better match those of mk1-3 Younglings, but this would probably entail major changes to these ships.
