Another possible derelict idea is the prospector ship. These ships could be crewed by as many as several dozen people, with crew areas, control areas, engineering and environmental areas, plus significant cargo holds, ore processing sections, and heavy equipment storage. These ships would be small enough that small co-ops and venture companies could fund one, they would head out to unpopulated areas especially in asteroid belts and ort clouds where accidents can happen and ships get lost. The could be full of expensive industrial equipment, valuable ore samples, and potentially lucrative survey study databanks of where high quality comets/asteroids/planetoids are. All of this plus the archeological value of an actual historic ship from the old prospector days.
