More ships for non-working-class NPCs

Whilst we're all eagerly awaiting more vessels that we can fly (or whatever you do in space); I feel the game is lacking a big chunk of life in the form of the non-working ships.

We have trade, combat and exploration ships (and the Orca).

I think there should be a lot more chuff in space. The every day folk who fly around in fancy or boring ships but with none of the bits that would make of use in a game. Generally short-range, no cargo, no (or seriously limited) combat ability. The family hatch-backs of space. Whizzing around doing the weekly groceries and generally getting in our way and causing traffic jams. Like the shuttles from Star-Trek and such.

Why stop there? Other utility ships. Tugs and repair ships (that can be enlisted to help if your stranded, but hardly something somebody is going to want to play as).

Though back on the playable ships, I want the mining ship Red Dwarf do do some serious mining...

The main thing to take away from that quote is highlighted:

"We could add things like cargo depots which allow multiple wingmen to load and deliver cargo for the same mission, and offer new ways for ships in a wing to interact with one another, like having limpets to transfer fuel between the wing or allowing players to take formation around stellar bodies and perform advanced linked scans."

E|D could have a lot of things added, but if they are or not is anyone's guess.
 
I agree there should be more "background traffic" the entire universe can't all be "Fighters and Freighters"
