Can you explain a little bit about the search and rescue system in the game? [What ship should I take on a search and rescue mission?]asked by Batgirl, Marcus Ansarzu and Jazz Arrow

So what ship should I take on a search and rescue mission?

The answer is that there's no one good answer. Part of the Star Citizen design is that if you're into search and rescue, you should pick a base ship that you like and build it out in that direction. Add tractor beams, living accommodations, whatever helps it be a better search and rescue ship. But the Cutlass is a great base, a Freelancer, a Starfarer.

Corvette, you could actually rescue a few people.

Absolutely.
