Tug needs to be given its own class
The original had the tug in a class of its own. This is also why general targeting orders do not target tugs in the original. Properties of this class:
- Same armor as fighter/shuttle class
- Cannot recharge shields/lasers like freighters/starships
- Cannot hyper in or out

reporter I also want to add that the original had classes in this order: Fighter, Shuttle, Tug, Freighter and Starship

This already exists in the current version of XWVM. Tugs have fighter armor-class, but they aren't considered fighters. They have a Utility role assigned, instead.
Ships have different Roles: Object, Utility, Fighter, Transport, Container, Capital, Mine. This has the function of grouping ships by in-universe function. A future example of Utility craft could be the Combat Utility Vehicle, or the Quadjumper.

I'm closing this issue for now until an issue pops up related to the utility role.
