Given that orbiter galaxy is well under development and will most likely be completed before the launch of "Infinity-the quest for earth", we are in need of a vessel capable of interstellar travel. Due to the vast distances involved, an ftl capable vessel is going to be needed (at the max speed of any [non scifi] ship currently available, the nearest star would be weeks realtime at 100k time accel...). My personal preference is the jump drive system from RTF.
For those of us who are truely adventuresome and bold, and have no intention of putting into port any time soon, the vessel will require the ability to refuel in flight, i.e. a hydrogen scoop that can scoop fuel from the upper atmosphere of gas giants.
The vessel will need to carry landing craft, perhaps off the shelf, perhaps not.
The vessel will need to be both UMMU and UCGO compatible. It would need a large(ish) crew (20-50+) and be able to carry a good number of UCGO cargos so as to be able to carry out a wide variety of tasks and expeditions around the galaxy.
