It most probably wouldn't. It can use lanes, but having the lane disrupted by NPC pirates is an event I wouldn't recommend to those with a weak heart. You can cruise in space, but it takes SO LONG... There is a chance some short route through one system would allow this ship to be uber-effective in trading, but that would probably be a bug.
One thing for the guide:
Asteroid fields, you CAN fly through them.
I don't have a movie, I have some screenshots of a Barge in the middle of Badlands somewhere. Asteroid fields aren't such a problem as the ship size would suggest. Tested in Bering, Tau 31, Tau 23, Omega 5 and Badlands.
Btw...
Escorts, you will BEG for them if you meet a group of hostile NPCs, spinning you around, unhittable for your guns...
