More ships for roleplay over combat?

[Fletcher]

We all know that combat can become a fun and tricky beast, and can open roleplay in its own right. But I ask, what if we had ships that were not geared for combat, but hang around for roleplay reasons?

For example, I know some Bretonians use Royal Liners or Luxury Liners as diplomatic vessels and such, what if we had a bit more variety on diplomatic vessels that are not good for combat but for 'balance' have a high armour like armoured transports and such?

We could also get more roleplay ships like rescue vessels, mining drones, exploration ships (more types) and such.

I'm sure you guys have more ideas for more roleplay geared ships that would in essence be poor combatants but can logically open up new avenues for roleplay.

What is your take on this folks?
