Flying with some guys exploring space we came up with an idea. Using the same mechanics as a fighter bay a multi crew could launch a runabout that was capable of super cruise but not capable of leaving the system itself. Armed with a sensorsweet the runabout would be able to help surface scan a system independent of the mothership
The shuttle craft would be lightly armed as it's not a combat craft but could theatrically defend itself.
Other versions could be focused into mining or even trade allowing large ships to trade with stations that only have medium pads.
Let me know if this is somthing worth looking into. If it is then perhaps we can get enough attention that the devs take notice.
