While preparing a fleet for exploring, quickly encountered some neat advantages for out of bubble explorers which i quite like:
You don't need to engineer the canopy ships anymore. If the carrier is doing the travelling, there's no need to min max or engineer at all. Ships like the adder, asp, clipper, orca etc can just come along to mix it up. No need for exploration fit as you have a base near by. Will probably add extra fuel tanks if anything. I was thinking about even breaking them for travelling by having small emergency only fuel scoops to add effect to the mobile base idea.
Canyon boosting gets upgraded to the ieagle or courier. These engineered for racing spec would get them over 540 so would be an upgrade to what we had before.
Nice one. Personally i don't spend that much on ship transfer, so out of bubble exploration is the only use for these really. The fact you need to mine to move them would drag bubble use even more.
