I was thinking of something a bit more practical, able to take on special jobs for those linked to the Navy and Imperial/Sector government (and perhaps sometimes earning some money via providing frontier excursions to the rich - or appearing to). One of the possible missions could be acting as a Q-Boat. Pirates could get a nasty surprise to find that what appears to be a rich man's toy is actually carrying a well-armed boarding party (Safari ships and yachts could provide double bunks in their staterooms - and the average Corsair crew is less than ten).
