Adds a lot of multi-crew options to the game.
Add small cargo shuttle hanger, similar to fighter bays, to allow large ships access to outpost missions. Say they transfer 100 tons or maybe 50 tons at a time.
No FSD drive, no supercruise. Just space forklifts.
Ships and fighters need to protect shuttles for each trip (Assuming 2 small ships could be launched at once., if now, main ship would have to protect)
Also, a mining shuttle would be interesting. Same concept. It has limp, refinery, hold and mining lasers. limited thrusters and no weapons or jump capability. Multicrew mining , doubles mining, and added a protection element.
Passenger ferries -- ship to ship tranfer for VIP/ high level criminal / Black Op passenger missions. Protect the passenger during the transfer.
