Cryptic, all this new and shiny stuff is all well and good, but I feel compelled to ask - when are getting a system that will allow us to put our shuttles somewhere useful, like... a shuttlebay, rather than clogging up our somewhat limited (and expensive) ship slots?
Well, I do appreciate the need for Pet slots as well... But my understanding was that Pets and ships were essentially two different things.
And to be clear - my main gripe here is that for every very-rarely-used shuttle I buy, I lose a slot in my starship roster, which is probably far more valuable to me for when things like the Odyssey +1 roll around.
As it stands, I've already got the Danube, Delta Flyer, Type 10 and Captain's Yacht... That's five whole slots on my ship roster!
Still see no reason to buy shuttles/fighters/runabouts, except for the purpose of the few small craft restricted missions. Perhaps, when we have small craft restricted PvP or STFs, this will be a good deal. Right now it's just not enough game play is devoted to small craft ...
Can we get some screenshots that show other angles, to me the current pic looks more like a render error where part of it is inside out and overall looks quite fugly.

Bingo.
You have 5 Small craft and they have a grand total of one mission with which they are appropriate. They took out the Delta Daily. This FE episode will be only the second mission where a shuttle is appropriate. The least they could do is give us a second personal shipyard to store them in.
Look at the full stats, it seems that it's not a special console but innate abilities of the Shuttle. It's seems a bit overkill for for two missions that (will be) in the game. I can't see players being interested in buying it. The Ship Collectors sure, that's a given But I can't see the draw for the Yellowstone. But....
with PvP getting some focus for Season 6. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there will be a one or more Shuttle only PvP maps that will be a part of Season 6. That will make the Yellowstone a tempting ship for PvP. A substantial amount of extra power for the systems at <75 power setting. An ability that doesn't use a console slot. And a Nice ability for PvP especially Shuttle PvP.
And taking a theoretical canonistic extrapolation based on the Yellowstone being in the game, I see (I REALLY WISH for ) a new Space Set based on the Tetyron Plasma Power System.. The Engine giving a boost to Driver Coil with enhanced engine stats possibly with [AUX] or the engine restart like the KHG Engine. Deflector giving substantial Flow Capacitor bonus. The Shield giving a substancial bonus for Power Insulators or a resistance from shield drains.
2 Piece Set bonus +30 Tetryons, +32 Warp Core Potential
3 Piece set bonus - the Eject Tetyron Plasma ability.
