So a lot of people say that if they can't have a Sidewinder or an Eagle in their ship's hangar for ships they're going to be mad, but I do not see the point in that.
So I have a proposition, that these small fighter ships can find a use in exploration vessels. My idea is that these ships take the place of a planetary vehicle hangar, that the commander can choose whether they want a planetary vehicle hangar or a ship hangar housing these two (possibly other small ships). This would not only give the player more space to store multiple ships or SRV's but also if the F63 Condor and the Imperial Fighter were used in Exploration Vessels they would effectively take the role of the SRV as well.
It is simple, the pod/capsule which the pilot stays in detaches from the ship and becomes an SRV perhaps not like the Scarab as it is rather big and the cockpits of the F63 Condor and the Tie Fighter are quite different than it. So both of them would be their own unique SRV. Of course these vessels would absolutely have to be able to travel in supercruise to reach the mother ship orbiting the planet, but that does not mean that they need to be capable of jumping from system to system. This would essentially make both the F63 Condor and the Imperial Fighter. Smaller versions of the T-47 and the x-wing I'm sorry the Sidewinder and the Eagle could certainly be envisioned for this purpose as well.
While we are on the topic of Exploration, let me also voice my opinion that the Advanced Discovery Scanner and potentially the detailed discovery scanner should be repurposed in the utility mount of a ship. When the Advanced Discovery Scanner is deployed it counts as deploying a hardpoint. If the Detailed Discovery Scanner and the Advanced Discovery Scanner were to take the place of utility slots, every ship could be fully outfitted for exploration purposes.

that was a cool idea, because the T7 really is missing some kind of advantage.
