It would be great to have a starting ship that was available at D priority, but had 5 officer slots.
One option might be to make the Dart Jammer a starting ship.
Another idea I had was for a Trash Freighter, a 5k mass ship with a component count like the Frontier Liner, but with much worse hull, base fuel, and base armor/shield to make it cheap enough for D priority. Here is what I am thinking specifically:
Base Stats
Hull: 1250
Base Armor: 2
Base Shield: 6
Base Fuel: 10 (I know it is very low, the idea is to make rely on a fuel tank component)
Default Large Components (3)
Longhaul Engine (the fuel-efficient Longhaul Engine because it likely isn't going to be combat-effective enough to justify a combat-centric engine)
2x Cargo Hold 1
Default Medium Components (5)
Barracks
Bridge
Basic Hyperwarp Drive
Fuel Tank
Officer Suites
Default Small Components (10)
2x Officer Cabin
1x Passenger Cabin
1x Weapons Locker A1
1x Reinforced Medical Chamber
1x ECCM Screen Matrix
1x Hydra Missile Array
1x Light Railgun
1x Stalwart PC-1
1x Valiant Autocannon
