Type: S - Scout/Courier

The scout ship is built for exploration, survey and courier duties, with many thousands in service throughout Charted space. Despite the small 100 ton hull, the scout is faster than most merchant ships and can jump further too.

While multiple crew positions are technically required, it is standard practice for a scout to be crewed by just one or two highly skilled individuals who understand the requirements needed for self-sufficiency.
