New ship: (EC-00) passenger shuttle
This suggestion is inspired by the complaint that gunners now take cargo space (since they need to dock before they can gun) in http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/28171 / http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/28173. A suggestion there, to 'beam up' gunners from the station in the NFZ doesn't sounds like good RP.
What about a new ship, "passenger shuttle", that only takes 10 or 20 cu cargo space, available for free in every station?
Think an EC-89 but without weapon ports and only 2cu cargo capacity (to allow datapads and the like). If you want to tweak stats make it half the mass and half the armor and adjust trust accordingly. It can share the EC-89 assets (or EC-88, but that would probably irritate some vets) and it can be replaced later with something like a star wars imperial shuttle.
Alternatively, make it so it doesn't take any cu (it is considered an integral part of the ship), and allow anyone to leave the trident in a shuttle at any time, including the captain.
[For bonus points, have all players on a trident escape in shuttles if it is blown up, to give the victorious bomber the pleasure of hunting and killing its defenseless enemies (and to show the crew/passenger list after the explosion: "muhaha! I knew you were hiding there"). A new badge "merciless kill", can go to whomever kills 100 shuttles. ]

+1 I look forward to seeing this in 2017
Why not use the Aerna Seeker model instead?
