That's the point... It's supposed to be a research vessel, not made for any kind of combat. It doesn't have to be good in combat to be good in discovery. It's an RP server, afterall.
Gunboats have always been a very interesting shiptype for Roleplay aswell, since they not only consist of a cockpit, but still are allowed on most IDs. They have also been used as Research vessels, sometimes even without weapons. This would continue that line of thought, a good line.
