I want a ship that’s harder to hit as I’m trying to get away. The starter ship has an okay back profile, but there’s not enough inventory.
Some shuttles inevitably spawn as tubes, and some have the inventory I need, but as soon as they turn just a little bit they’re pretty open. Sometimes I get hit by the AIs warning shot. They’re also not generally that fast.
What I really need is a balance between inventory and getting hit less.
You can expand the storage though. You just need the money
Or if you prefer you can use the ship customizer to find a part or class you like, and then use “that other website” to search for it by parts. (An example would be “Fighter dorsal r2d2”) and then use the Teleporter code to get to that system.
