Are there any more/hidden S-Class frighter features?

Question

Yesterday I got the opportunity to buy an S-Class Dreadnought freighter. But it only had 1 cargo slot and 20 light years more than my current A-Class frighter. And since I find dreadnoughts ugly and impractical (who builds a freighter with antennas in front of the approach corridor?) I decided against buying one. Did this S-Class possibly have other advantages besides the slot and the slightly more light years?

The main perk is that life is just better when your freighter has that big upper case S on it. Food tastes better, more attractive interlopers frequent your drinking establishments, sentinels are more courteous, and severe hazard weather takes on a more aesthetic appeal.

...more attractive interlopers ... Shit, I should have known that before.... I was thinking the other day - if I had to live in this universe I would probably be asexual ;-)

Well, frankly, you are, to put it mildly, wrong that all dreadnoughts are ugly, because they have this terrible antenna in front of the entrance.

And secondly, in my experience of hunting for Freighters, there is a wonderful episode when I met a great specimen!

It is a pity that at that time I already had an S-class freighter with 34 slots. Had to leave this cool ship!

...such a sad story ;-) ... but good to know - Thanks

It´s not just the antenna I don´t like it´s the overall aestethics - but (fortunately ) tastes are different ...
