I was looking at how small it really is. Its Smaller than even escape pods. Question is, would you fly in a space vehichle so tiny? I know I wouldnt. I would Take the Luxury of the Type 7 shuttle or the Type 6. (Posted Image) TYPE 15 (Posted Image) TYPE 7 (Posted Image) Type 6

They are intended for VERY short-range uses. It wouldn't be pratical to make tons of shuttles that were large which would expend resorces, so these shuttles were used when you had generally a single person who needed to collect data without spending tons of resorces on a scout ship...like the Venture-Class.
