Hi 
Exploration?... yeah, hard to tell atm. but that's the main question I think, is it going to be 'just' a glorified trader ship that's been created as a natural progression up from a T7. or is it going to excel in a specific task in one of the present main ship uses, for example Mining, Trade, Exploration and Combat.
I think perhaps we can rule out Combat as such in any meaningful sense.
Passenger capabilities?...also doesn't seem like this is it's forte, as we've more suitable ships for that specialist role
Trading and Mining has possibilities if module / cargo racks support this.
Exploration, could also be one of it's positive features, again depending on it's internal configuration.
Of course, there could be some 'specialistic' features we don't know about yet, either to fit in with the BGS features or some other future game development.
...Slightly off topic but, I really would like a Frontier created shipyard based ship skin random colour / pattern generator tool!
Players could have unique colour configurations by inputting some numbers / letters maybe, as well as choosing from a sequence of patterns. for example, basic 'animal mammalian' paterns, geometric designs or a thousand other configurations. Something like a library of images covering many topical subjects, obviously supplied by Frontier but accessed within the shipyard 'paint shop'. Decals could be applied as well (clip art), but with perhaps thousands of choices that a player could use in conjunction with the paint / pattern tools.
I mean, who wouldn't want to create their own unique ship skin designs and Frontier endorsed motifs.
While I'm here posting I'll explain further (If Frontier Devs are hopefully reading this topic / thread)
If you look at my posting avatar? It's a prancing Deer with words depicting my 'Corporation' that I use in game to portray a fictitious trading company. All I can do at the moment is use that name to advertise my 'Corporation' in game only as words. It would please me to construct in more detail a more detailed skin for my ships, depicting the prancing Deer as a decal in conjunction with the corporations name etc.
The 'decal' could come from a decal 'library' supplied by Frontier from perhaps said library that would cover perhaps thousands of varied clip art subjects.
Edit...Of course I wouldn't expect this game 'upgrade' for free, some payment in ARX is to be expected, for the shipyard 'upgrade' as well as reasonably priced skin patterns, colours and decals / clip art.
Ok, back to reality / on topic!

Sorry, sorry. 
Couldn't resist. Frontier is just too large a punching bag now.
