Exactly. 

Or maybe even come with some exploration-specific internal slots, much like how passenger ships got internals reserved for cabins and combat ships got slots reserved for combat-centered stuff. To be quite honest, if you are exploring, all you need is:

Essentials:

-) Fuel Scoop: Won't get far without that

-) 2x Auto-field Maintainance Units: If you do very long trips, you will need that

-) Discovery/Detailed Surface scanner: Without those, your exploration mission becomes a sightseeing tour




Optionals:

Fuel bay: To extend your range without needing to refuel

SRV: For driving around and stuff

Fighter: Nothing beats getting out of the cumbersome conda and racing down a planet's surface for a change of pace. 

Shields: To make planetary landings more forgiving. Now you won't scratch the paint with a rough touchdown. 




Alternatively:

Arm a federal corvette to the teeth and drag it all the way to Sagittarius A*. Then start salt mining...
