wow, there's a slight difference between the Talarca and the Spatial in terms of firepower and armor...
I said I was rethinking my position on the Spatial. That quote was mine from about a month or more ago.
Is the Spatial considered a Freighter? I thought it was listed as a VHF... either way, as I recall it fits poorly into either category, hovering somewhere in the middle of it all.
Like I said, I'll give it another look, and strategize, hehe...
Well, here is the criteria you need for an exploration ship:
Small enough to get through asteroid fields.
Good hull and shield.
Not too expensive.
Able to defend itself against minor threats.
Armored Transport, Turanic Raiders Freighter and Kushan Freighter are all good for this, as they can all equip class-7 freighter shields. The Turanic has good firepower, the Kushan has good maneuverability, and the Armored Transport has great armor for its size. Get a Mk VI, VII or VIII Armor Upgrade too.

It is a super heavy fighter, which fits your description perfectly.:)
I actually had a dream last night that I flew the Spatial. Now, of course, I must have one. =P Few other ships have so much personality, and I love how it straddles the categories.
The Armored Transport is getting its agility DOUBLED with this new mod version, a bigger hold, and keeping its heavy transport shields. It'd be my top choice for exploration, bar none. Statwise, anyway; there's still RP to keep in mind, and so it might not be your perfect choice.
