EDIT: I would like to know how many people really uses docking modules here... Much more 5... I'm curious.
EDIT2: and makes much more sense for an explorer ship to have a couple docking bays to launch some auxiliary ships, and even a jump drive to travel to new systems...
Would it satisfy you if the team were to switch the lore for the Corvo to the proposed new ship, while leaving the Corvo intact under a different name?
How about if the Fearless were to be used as the gunboat while being renamed as the Corvo, and the Corvo were renamed to something like the Sentinel or the Phalanx? That would maintain the exploration lore, but separate it from the Zoners, while leaving the Zoner cruiser intact.
