I suggest Frontier change one of the ships size 2 slots into two size 1 slots. (As a side note, this is also a change I think could reasonable be made to the Type 6 and the DBX.) This would add a little more versatility and, at least for me, a lot more joy when flying my Keelback. Implementing this would not expand the ships internal space, nor would it turn the Keelback into a new meta ship; it would just make it a little bit more flexible.
Edit: Thanks to @Frenotx I have a better idea.
Change it so the DSS go into a sub-slot on the Sensors. (This would of course apply to all ships.) For me personally this would free up the "missing" slot on the Keelback, making it into a truly multi-purpose ship. You would of course still have to spec it for what you're doing; it just wouldn't miss that one thing every time.
The good thing about this is that it would give all ships the ability to explore, something I think Frontier would want to encurage, while not negatively affecting the balance between ships.
Explorers would gain a little bit of staying power out in the black.
Combat builds would be able to scan planets.
Different doing-things-in-the-the-bubble builds would gain a little bit of utillity.
I don't know about you, but I think this is a win-win situation for all.
