#Change conversion conditions from Swingtail to Skymonster

In my opinion, current conversion conditions (300 minutes + 32000 cash, as shown in the image) are a bit imbalanced.
Why?

  1. Basically current conditions require you to have the Swingtail (after conversion - Skymonster) ES'd, so there is pretty much no possibility whatsoever to obtain Skymonster of pure rare quality (but not named ultra rare one).
  2. When compared to other Oversize transport like Dreamlifter or even Beluga (rare one) the Skymonster has: lowest capacity, lowest max speed (like far lowest, 118 knots lower than rare Beluga and even bigger gap from Dream lifter) and also lowest ceiling (like 5k lower than rare Beluga and around 12k lower than Dreamlifter). I mean, it has a good range, but even including that Dreamlifter will be a far better thing to cratehunt or farm a money for a kit (which is pretty much doable in those 5 hours required to ES Skymonster). Nonetheless, it may still be a good subtitute for Beluga.
  3. 32k cash in my opinion is a bit too low to convert a cargo turboprop to a whole oversize transport even from a logical point of view - should be a bit more.

So, taking into consideration numerous pros and cons of the airplane, I would suggest the following:

  1. Shortening conversion time from 300 minutes (5 hours) to 285 minutes (4 and 3/4 hours);
  2. Increasing price of conversion for 32000 cash to 60000 cash (almost 2 times).
