Ship launched Shuttle Craft

I suggest adding a Shuttle that can be launched form a SLF Hangar.
It would allow Large ships to trade with outposts by shutteling items from the Ship to the outpost. You would need to land the shuttle manually.
The capacity would be about 50 and the shuttle should also be able to carry fuel to your ship to allow you to refuel

A ship launched cargo/mining SLF option would be nice but but 50 tons of cargo may be a little to much.

I would also suggest making it only available on the largest hanger.

Why? if you want to do mission to outposts, use a medium or small ship,

what they should do is to add outposts with only small landing pads. To give more options to play with different sized ships. instead of just having a do it all big ship... because if that is the goal, why even have small and medium ship in the game otherwise?

Not required any more due to the FC use as the multi ship transport system...
All the ships from Horizons and before are NOW surface and station ships only once FC is owned...

Even a cutter is, as the Master ship is the Fleet carrier now... FC carry cargo system to system not the Cutter or T9s to systems...
The cutter and T9s are planet/station to FC... or FC to Station/Planet.
If you want a small Ship to land on an outpost/planet you select a small ship from your FC and then land on the outpost/planet with the small ship...

That's one of it primary uses you don't have to transfer ships to stations after FC and you bring every size of ship you own to a single location...

Using a shuttle means you loose some cargo space and also take longer to load/unload, its there to give more flexibilty to players

Not everyone has a FC and giving players without some flexiblty at the expense of cargo space is quite sensible IMO
