Yes, I also think that the sleeper ship should sell as a ship too. And as for a Gallic sleeper ship, that would probably use the same model as the hispania and be in New Paris.

That's one of the Alliance patrol ships that you briefly see in the Sol based portion of the intro, right? Well, that's a good reason not to add it right there - the design died with Sol. And even so, the model's design would have been improved over the 800 years since settlement and probably would have disappeared long before the present day.
Hence the reason you don't see the shuttles surrounding the landed sleeper ship at the end of the intro flying about as well. Also, that reminds me of the Corvo.
