roleplaying a LF as an explorer doesn t fit the lore. - LF are short range fighters unfit for deep space exploring into systems without borderstations on every corner, a carrier or major stations or planets.
the LF should not be able to make a journey that is further than one system away - and only if that system also has tradelanes.
the spatial is meant to travel long distances without lanes and also multiple jumps through natural jumpholes and jumpgates without harm.
people do not roleplay such weaknesses of course - so yeah you are right - if we only look at the good sides - a LF is a better choice for an explorer. if you want to ROLEPLAY an explorer - you should pick a SHF or a freighter ( or something even larger )
and to add to the thread
since it was mentioned - the orca also got a facelift cause the speedboat isn t too popular - or so it seemed regarding to some ancient threads
