As we're supposedly going to get more for exploration soon. I'll toss out these ideas:
Both of these ships look like flying screwdrivers, with long tails at the back. These tails provide mounting points for sensors, scanners, and other small stuff that doesn't have to be in the passenger compartment. When landing gear is deployed, the tails fold up and over the ship to make it shorter (hence the name). The Scorpion Scout is small-pad sized, the Scorpion Explorer is a larger medium-pad ship (I've never understood why both Asps are medium and both Diamondbacks are small, it seems obvious to me that different-sized variants of the same ship should have different pad sizes).
Internals for the Scorpion Scout: 4 3 3 2 1 1 1 1
Internals for the Scorpion Explorer: 5 4 4 3 2 1 1 1 1 1
FSD size: 4 for the Scout, 5 for the Explorer. Both ships will be light, jump range good but not freakish. Weak thrusters and armour, weak hardpoints, quite a good range of utility mounts (for scanners). Both ships will have low emissions, with thermal characteristics similar to the Diamondbacks. Good fuel tanks, equal to FSD size category (hence 16t for Scout, 32t for Explorer). Good cockpit visibility, especially on the Explorer.
Sensor array size: best ship in each size category, this is what they were designed to do. Pre-equipped with D-rated sensors rather than the usual E-rated. These ships are typically used for long-duration recon missions, where you don't really need to get anywhere in a hurry, but want to take plenty of sensors with you.
So they won't replace the AspX and DBX, due to lower jump range and a smaller number of decent-sized internal compartments (though each does have one compartment that matches the FSD size, the natural place to put a fuelscoop: I suggest the stock build could include an E-rated scoop). But no other ship in each size category can match the total number of internals (except the special-edition Cobra MkIV IIRC), though half of them are size 1. If you run out of ideas for filling these, try adding a hold with a few limpets and a long line of limpet controllers!
