What about a patrol boat? Plenty of crew space, decent sensors, a couple of runabouts, weapons and Jump-3

that could work if our main goal is exploration and such

That is the Patrol Corvette, which I think is an excellent starting point (though it doesn't list the software running on it). If you tell me how much additional money we have, I can do some customization to it. I would probably upgrade the sensors and computer fist so that we can run Fire Control for the 4 turrets. And since the ship can go down into atmo, I don't see why we need the Ship's Boat. I am sure we can think of better sue to the 30t of space that takes up. :)

So toss me ideas and suggestions for customizations for both the ship and G/Carrier (I have both High Guard and the Vehicle Handbook) and I'll see what I can whip up.

Ship's boats can also be useful for ferrying between ship and other space-bound bodies like stations and such if we wanted to keep our main vessel detached from the place.

I forgot about that. See the group I have been running for the past two years usually uses an explosive "high=speed delivery system" for ship-to-ship stuff. Most people call them missiles. :)

I'm ok with all this stuff.. and I'm going to get a breather

So, I'm sorry to have to do this, but life has gotten crazy and I just don't have time to run this game.

Bummer :(
